A two stage high power amplifier consisting of a 325W High Voltage HBT (HVHBT) Doherty final and a 20W LDMOS Doherty driver has been developed for use in wireless basestation applications. The lineup achieved greater than 54% PAE at 75W (48.77dBm) average output power with 30dB gain while achieving -55dBc linearized ACPR at 5MHz offset using a 2C11 WCDMA input signal with 6.5dB PAR signal. The DPD friendly characteristics of the HVHBT Doherty final enable use of a non-linear Doherty driver while maintaining the same ease of correction for the overall lineup.
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.
