The invention discloses a W-band high-backoff-efficiency power
amplifier adopting a power synthesis technology, and relates to the technical field of
millimeter wave integrated circuits, and the power
amplifier comprises a power distribution network, a differential driving stage, an inter-stage matching network, a differential output stage, an
active load modulation network and a self-
adaptive bias network. A
radio frequency input
signal is divided into two paths of signals which are equal in amplitude and have a
phase difference of 90 degrees through the power distribution network, and after the two paths of signals are subjected to
differential amplification through the main path and the auxiliary path respectively, in-phase power synthesis output is completed through the
active load modulation network. A self-
adaptive bias network is introduced for an
auxiliary circuit amplifier, a
radio frequency input
signal is accessed to the input end of the self-
adaptive bias network, and
auxiliary circuit bias is dynamically adjusted according to the size of input power: an
auxiliary circuit is closed or slightly opened when the
signal is small, and is completely opened when the signal is large, so that high
linearity and high power additional efficiency are simultaneously realized in a wide power range. The power amplifier disclosed by the invention still keeps high efficiency in a backoff region, and is suitable for 5.5 G / 6G communication,
radar and imaging systems.
