基于滤波移相结构的宽带Doherty功放设计

    Design of Wideband Doherty Power Amplifier Based on Filter Phase Shift Structure

    • 摘要: 本文设计了一种基于滤波移相结构的宽带Doherty功率放大器(DPA),旨在解决传统基于动态负载调制技术的DPA受限于λ/4相位补偿线,在带宽拓展方面的局限性。通过采用集成的宽带滤波移相结构取代传统功放中的λ/4补偿线,不仅能实现宽频带内的相位补偿和阻抗变换,而且具有良好的滤波功能,从而有效地提高了DPA的相对带宽和带外抑制特性。为了验证,对设计原型进行加工并测试,结果表明该DPA在2.4 GHz~3.6 GHz频段内,饱和输出功率为43.0 dBm ~43.8 dBm,饱和增益大于8 dB,饱和漏极效率为54%~65%,功率回退6 dB时漏极效率在44%~53%。

       

      Abstract: Traditional Doherty power amplifier (DPA) based on dynamic load modulation technology is limited by λ/4 phase compensation line, and there are challenges in bandwidth expansion. In this paper, a wideband DPA based on filter phase shift structure is designed. By adopting an integrated wideband filter phase shift structure to replace the traditional λ/4 compensation line in power amplifier, it achieves phase compensation and impedance transformation over a wide bandwidth, while providing good filtering functionality. Thus, the relative bandwidth and out-of-band suppression characteristics of the DPA are improved effectively. For verification, the design prototype is processed and tested, the results show that the DPA achieves a saturation output power of 43.0 dBm~43.8 dBm, a saturation gain greater than 8 dB, a saturation drain efficiency of 54%~65%, and a drain efficiency of 44%~53% at 6 dB power back-off within the band of 2.4 GHz~3.6 GHz.
