线性Doherty功放的优化设计

设计了一个高效率、高线性度的射频Doherty GSM基站功放。利用Doherty功放的载波放大器与峰值放大器之间的互调对消技术使Doherty功放的三阶互调干扰(IMD3)改善了11dBc;并通过相位补偿延迟线的前置处理进一步提高了功放的效率,使其效率比常用的平衡补偿线方案提高了4%左右。文中利用两个MRF9060功放管制作了一个GSM频段Doherty功放,其实测1dB压缩点功率(P1dB)达到了130W;双音测试表明:经过4.5dB的回退后三阶互调失真(IMD3)优于-35dBc,此时功率附加效率(PAE)高达47.3%;WCDMA 3GPP的测试结果表明:经过6dB回退后,其5MHz偏移量的邻道功率比(ACPR)优于-40.5dBc,PAE为43.5%,比AB类平衡功放的效率提高了17.8%。结果表明:该设计方案较好地解决了射频功放功率与效率之间的矛盾,适用于射频功放的设计。

Optimized Design of Linear Doherty Power Amplifier

A Doherty power amplifier(DPA) with both high efficiency and good linearity for GSM base-station was presented in this paper.The Third-order intermodulation distortion(IMD3) of the DPA has improved about 11dBc using intermodulation cancellation technique between the peaking amplifier and the carrier amplifier;and the high efficiency was enhanced by the disposal of a prepositive phase offset delay line,and a 4% efficiency enhancement was reached.The DPA was realized using two MRF9060 power transistors in GSM...
