Abstract

The invention discloses an outphasing power amplifier and a method thereof for realizing output matching. The method comprises the following steps: calculating a compensatory angle of a combiner according to a signal power back-off quantity of a signal source; determining a ratio of optimal impedance Zm1 corresponding to a peak output power value of a power tube to optimal impedance Zm2 corresponding to a mean output power value of the power tube according to the compensatory angle obtained by calculation, wherein the ratio is a standing-wave ratio; determining impedance Zopt of a maximum power point of the power tube by a load pulling mode according to the size of an isostatic standing-wave ratio circle; by taking the impedance Zopt of the maximum power point as a reference point, findingout impedance Zbk_eff of a back-off high-efficiency point on the isostatic standing-wave ratio circle; and respectively matching the impedance Zopt of the maximum power point and the impedance Zbk_eff of the back-off high-efficiency point, which are used as corresponding impedance values, to two input ends of the combiner. The method disclosed by the invention ensures that the output power of theoutphasing power amplifier is the maximum and realizes high-efficiency work of the power amplifier; and furthermore, the design complexity is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to but not limited to power amplifier technology, especially to an outphasing (outphasing) power amplifier, a method and device for realizing output matching, and a power amplifier branch. Background technique [0002] At present, with the increasingly fierce competition in the wireless communication market, the performance of base station products has become the main focus of competition in the industry. As an important part of the base station, the power amplifier (referred to as the power amplifier) ​​is directly related to the quality of the base station's transmitted signal and the communication effect. In order to achieve higher rate data transmission within a limited bandwidth, complex digital modulation techniques are used in modern wireless communication systems. These complex modulation techniques coupled with multi-carrier configurations result in an increase in signal peak-to-average ratio (PAR). The improv...
