Radio frequency spectrum is expensive and sophisticated modulation techniques, leading to wide, dynamic signals require linear amplification. The penalty for achieving linearity is efficiency. The challenge is therefore to develop power amplifiers which offer high linearity and high efficiency in the back-off. In this paper, the idea of Modified Doherty Amplifier Ill is extended by using a push-pull class-B amplifier in place of class-AB amplifier and a complementary class-C amplifier in place of single ended class-C amplifier to improve linearity and to provide high efficiency in back-off.Index Terms -power amplifier.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
