Abstract

This paper evaluates the Doherty power amplifier architecture in terms of linearity, efficiency and design solutions. As case study four different prototypes are presented, one for 4G Picocells at 2.1 GHz, one for WiMax applications at 3.5 GHz and two for point-to-point microwave backhaul radiolinks at 7 GHz. Experimental results together with design guidelines are discussed addressing strengths and weaknesses of the Doherty architecture.
