Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in order to ensure that the Doherty power amplifier has good linearity, in the process of changing the load line of the carrier power amplifier from load line a to load line b, the carrier power amplifier in the prior art must always work in class AB, and the carrier power amplifier's The static operating point is always located at figure 2 The Q point in the carrier makes the thermal power consumption of the carrier power amplifier circuit larger, which directly leads to the decline of the efficiency of the Doherty power amplifier.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a Doherty power amplifier control method and apparatus, wherein the method comprise: obtaining an output state of a Doherty power amplifier, wherein the Doherty power amplifier comprises a carrier power amplifier and a peak value power amplifier; and adjusting a grid voltage of the carrier power amplifier according to the output state of the Doherty power amplifier, so that the carrier power amplifier switches from a B-type working state to an AB-type working state in a process in which output power of the Doherty power amplifier decreases from a saturation state to power corresponding to a regression amount of the Doherty power amplifier. According to the Doherty power amplifier control method and apparatus, the grid voltage of the carrier power amplifier is adjusted according to the output state of the Doherty power amplifier, to change a working state of the carrier power amplifier, thereby improving efficiency of the Doherty power amplifier and ensuring linearity of the Doherty power amplifier.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, and relates to a control method and device for a Doherty power amplifier. Background technique [0002] Efficiency and linearity are the two most important indicators of a communication system. Efficiency directly affects the operating cost of the communication system, and linearity determines the communication quality. The combination of Doherty power amplifier (ie, Doherty power amplifier) ​​and digital pre-distortion (Digital Pre-Distortion, DPD) is a common technology in modern wireless communication. [0003] Doherty power amplifier adopts active load modulation technology, and the whole power amplifier can be composed of two parallel power amplifier circuits, such as figure 1 shown. After the RF signal enters the Doherty power amplifier, it is divided into two paths by the power divider 1, and one path of the RF signal passes through the first microstrip line 2, the first ...
