Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of signal power amplification, and in particular to a pre-distortion cancellation and secondary cancellation power amplifier circuit. Background Art
[0002] In existing power amplifier circuits, an impedance transformation network combiner circuit or a Doherty combiner circuit is generally used to improve the combined output power and efficiency of the power amplifier circuit. Among them, for the power circuit of the existing power amplifier circuit, when the output power is met, if the overall efficiency is improved, the overall output power linearity is reduced; when the overall output power linearity is improved, the overall power efficiency is further reduced. For the impedance transformation network combination or Doherty combination of the existing power amplifier circuit, when the combined output power is increased, if the overall power efficiency is improved, the overall output power linearity is reduced; when the overall power linearity is improved, the overall power efficiency is further reduced. Therefore, when it is necessary to increase the output power of the power amplifier circuit or the linearity of the combined output power, a pre-distortion circuit is generally connected in series at the input end of the combined power amplifier circuit to improve the linearity of the combined output power.
[0003] Among them, when the pre-distortion circuit improves the linearity of the output power of the power amplifier circuit, it cannot simultaneously expand the gain linear range of the Class C power amplifier circuit, and the pre-distortion circuit improves the linearity of the output power of the Class C power amplifier circuit worse than the linearity of the output power of the Class AB power amplifier circuit; or the existing feedforward cancellation technology improves the linearity of the Class C power amplifier circuit by reducing the efficiency of the Class C power amplifier circuit.
[0004] Therefore, when the output power of the existing power amplifier circuit is increased, the overall power increases linearly but the overall power efficiency decreases, or the overall power efficiency increases but the overall power decreases linearly, which is a problem that cannot be solved at the same time. Summary of the Invention
