This study presents a design procedure to obtain high-efficiency for microwave power amplifier. The designed amplifier uses a GaN high electron mobility transistor as an active device. Matching networks including input and output networks are realized using Megtron6 substrate microstrip lines. The designed amplifier operates at 2.1 GHz band. The simulated results show that the amplifier delivers a maximum power-added efficiency of 73.2% at output power and power gain of 47.8 dBm and 13.8 dB, respectively. This promising designed performance makes this amplifier to be an excellent candidate for use in modern wireless communication systems like radar, mobile network, and satellite communications.

In brief, a dual-band doherty power amplifier employing reactance compensation with gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistor technology is discussed. This design is developed for long-term evolution (LTE) frequency operation, particularly for the application of two-way radio to improve the efficiency at the back-off point from saturation output power for selected dual frequencies in the LTE bandwidth. Measurements show that the prototype board has enhanced performance at the desired frequencies, namely a saturation output power of 40.5 dBm, and 6 dB back-off efficiencies of 43% and 47%, which exhibit a gain of approximately 10 dB at 0.8 GHz and 2.1 GHz, respectively.
