Abstract

This paper analyses the impacts of the harmonic-tuned hybrid continuous modes (HTHCMs) approach on the back-off efficiency of Doherty power amplifiers (DPAs). Based on the HTHCMs strategy, formulations are derived for designing the impedance inverting network (IIN) and impedance transforming network (ITN) in the DPA. Via the proposed approach, multiple impedance solutions for realizing broadband DPAs with substantial output back-off efficiency recovery is made possible. The potentiality of the design method is demonstrated by the realized prototype working from 1.4 to 2.45 GHz. Test results have shown over 50% drain efficiency at 6 dB back-off power.
