Abstract

In this paper, a new Doherty power amplifier having the ideal harmonic termination condition that has been usually ignored is proposed. A defected ground structure (DGS) is adopted on the ground pattern of the output lambda/4 impedance inverter of the carrier amplifier and output offset transmission line of the peaking amplifier that are essential for proper load modulation operation of a conventional Doherty amplifier. As a result of the second and third harmonic termination, excellent improvement in power added efficiency (PAE), gain, maximum output power as well as linearity is obtained. The acquired improvements in gain, maximum output power (P1dB), PAE and adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) to WCDMA 2FA signal are 0.42dB, 0.33dB, 12.7%, and 5.1dB, respectively. Moreover, physical length of microstrip line is shortened fairly by DGS, therefore the whole amplifier circuit size is considerably reduced
