EnglishThis paper presents the design of a 20W GaN Doherty Power Amplifier working in the range 2.8 GHz–3.6 GHz. The design strategy adopted for the design of the Doherty output combiner is discussed, which consists in embedding the device parasitics into the latter, implemented as a multi-stage quarter-wavelength transformer, in order to achieve wideband behaviour. The saturated output power ranges from 42dBm to 44 dBm, with a corresponding drain efficiency in excess of 47%. The efficiency at 6 dB of output back-off is higher than 42% over the whole frequency band, and the small-signal gain is higher than 10 dB. Due to the discrepancies of the measured scattering parameters compared to the simulated ones, which could not be corrected with post-tuning, a redesign of the prototype is ongoing.

| Abstract: | This paper presents the design of a 20W GaN Doherty Power Amplifier working in the range 2.8 GHz–...3.6 GHz. The design strategy adopted for the design of the Doherty output combiner is discussed, which consists in embedding the device parasitics into the latter, implemented as a multi-stage quarter-wavelength transformer, in order to achieve wideband behaviour. The saturated output power ranges from 42dBm to 44 dBm, with a corresponding drain efficiency in excess of 47%. The efficiency at 6 dB of output back-off is higher than 42% over the whole frequency band, and the small-signal gain is higher than 10 dB. Due to the discrepancies of the measured scattering parameters compared to the simulated ones, which could not be corrected with post-tuning, a redesign of the prototype is ongoing. | |
