Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of microwave circuits, and relates to a predistortion Doherty power amplifier based on a varactor diode loaded composite left and right hand transmission line. Background technique
[0002] With the development and continuous improvement of wireless communication, multi-carrier modulation with peak-to-average power ratio is widely used in communication systems, so the linearity of power amplifiers is becoming more and more important. In order to obtain higher linearity, power return is usually used. Back-off, feed-forward, negative feedback, and pre-distortion methods, the implementation of the first three will lead to lower efficiency or complex structure of the power amplifier. The Doherty power amplifier has a simple structure and can strike a balance between efficiency and linearity, but its linearity still needs to be improved.
[0003] At present, in order to improve the linearity of the Doherty power amplifier...
