Title:
Doherty amplifier
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6122044
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A Doherty amplifier (1) includes an input terminal (10), an output terminal (20), a splitter (12), a combiner (22), a carrier amplifier (14), a peak amplifier (16). The splitter is connected to the input terminal, the splitter having first and second outputs. The combiner is connected to the output terminal, the combiner having first and second inputs. The carrier amplifier includes a first input-side two-port network connected to the first output of the splitter, a first amplifier connected to an output of the first input-side two-port network, and a first output-side two-port network connected between an output of the first amplifier and the first input of the combiner. The peak amplifier includes a second input-side two-port network connected to the second output of the splitter, a second amplifier connected to the output of the second input-side two-port network, and a second output-side two-port network connected between an output of the second amplifier and the second input of the combiner. The combiner is a series-connected load type having a series connection of the output-side two-port network of the carrier amplifier with the output-side two-port network of the peak amplifier and the output terminal. The load impedance is expressed using a complex number.
