    Design of Broadband Doherty Power Amplifier Based on Filtering Structure

    • 摘要: 本文提出了一种具有高效集成滤波特性的宽带高效率Doherty功率放大器的设计。载波功率放大器采用扩展连续F类设计,耦合微带线滤波器结构用于后匹配设计。这种滤波结构的终端由级联在一起的微带线组成,以增强带外抑制效果。这种结构不仅提高了效率,而且拓宽了带宽。使用10 W氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管器件设计和实现了Doherty功率放大器,验证了其宽带特性。在1.6 GHz~2.4 GHz频段内,实现了7.7 dB~9.9 dB的饱和增益和43.1 dBm~44.7 dBm的饱和功率,在功率回退6 dB和饱和功率时的漏极效率分别为50.1%~58.8%和59.9%~73.3%。

       

      Abstract: A design of a broadband high-efficiency Doherty power amplifier with efficient integrated filtering characteristics is proposed. The carrier power amplifier is designed using extended continuous class F, and a coupled microstrip line filter structure is used for post matching design. The terminal of this structure is composed of microstrip lines cascaded together to enhance the out of band suppression effect. This structure not only improves efficiency but also widens the frequency band. Doherty power amplifier is designed and implemented using 10 W gallium nitride high electron mobility transistors devices, and its broadband characteristics are verified. In 1.6 GHz~2.4 GHz, the Doherty power amplifier achieves a saturation gain of 7.7 dB~9.9 dB and a saturation power of 43.1 dBm~44.7 dBm, the drain efficiency at 6 dB output backoff and saturation is 50.1%~58.8% and 59.9%~73.3%.
