An unsymmetrical GaN based Doherty power amplifier (DPA) operating from 2.5GHz to 2.7GHz is presented in this paper. To achieve a good tradeoff among the output power, efficiency and bandwidth, the ladder-type multisection output matching networks are optimized for the carrier amplifier and the peaking amplifier, respectively. Measured with continuous wave (CW) signal, the broadband DPA provides more than 49dBm saturation power in the operating band. The drain efficiency is greater than 44% over 7dB back-off power. For a LTE-Advanced signal with 100MHz bandwidth, the drain efficiency is higher than 42% at an average output power of 41dBm, along with an adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) of better than-49.9dBc after digital predistortion (DPD).

An unsymmetrical Doherty power amplifier (DPA) at 460MHz is presented in this paper. The carrier and peaking amplifier of the DPA, which base on two equal-sized devices, are matched with different networks to mitigate the performance degradation caused by the limited load modulation. Measured with continuous wave (CW), the unsymmetrical DPA saturates at an output power of 49.2dBm and achieves a drain efficiency of 51% at 6dB back-off. Using a one-carrier long term evolution advanced (LTE-Advanced) signal with 20MHz bandwidth, the unsymmetrical DPA exhibits a drain efficiency of 48.7% at an average output power of 42.1dBm, along with adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) of-34.1dBc and-53.3dBc before and after digital pre-distortion (DPD), respectively.
