Abstract
During several method of improvement efficient, We analyzed Doherty Amplifier That used by simple circuit and 180w PEP LDMOS to analyze improvement of efficient and linearity. We for testing performance of Doherty Amplifier compared with Balanced Class AB, the experimental results show when Peaking Amp $V_gs.P$=1.53V, the efficiency is increased at Maximum 11.6$\%$. After finding optimum bias point of linearity improvement by manual tuning gate bias, when WCDMA 4FA $V_gs.P$=3.68V IMSR could be increased maximum 3.34dB. especially, when we match bias point of Peaking amp at 1.53V, we could get a excellent efficiency increase and have fUR under -3203c at output power 43dBm.
