In this paper, design and implement 60W Doherty power amplifiers for 3GPP repeater and base station transceiver system. Efficiency improvement and high power property of Doherty power amplifier is distinguishable; however implementation of assistance amplifer is difficult, though. To solve the problem, therefore, GCHD (Gate Control Hybrid Doherty) power amplifier is embodied to gate bias adjusament circuit of assistance amplifier to General Doherty power amplifier. Experiment result shows that $2.11\~2.17GHz$, 3GPP operating frequency band, with 62.55 dB gain, PEP output is 50,76 dBm, W-CDMA average power is 47.81 dBm, and -40.05 dBc ACLR characteristic in 5MHz offset frequency band. Each of the parameter satisfied amplifier specification which we want to design. Especially, GCHD power amplifier shows proper efficiency performance improvement in uniformity ACLR than general power amplifier.

This paper describes a high power amplifier combining eight low power amplifiers using a radial power combiner with low insertion loss. The radial power combiner is a non-resonant type combiner with 8 input ports and is implemented by microstrip transmission line. The combiner characteristics designed at operating frequency of 1.045 GHz have an insertion loss of 0.7 dB and a return loss of more than 12 dB. Also, the low power amplifier used was designed with AFT27S010NT1 transistor and designed to satisfy the same gain, phase and constant output characteristic at operating frequency. The high power amplifier, which combiners the radial power combiner and the drive amplifier of 8 W output by driving low power amplifiers obtained the output characteristic of 33 W at operating frequency of 1.045 GHz. Also, the change of the output characteristic of the amplifier using the radial combiner was graceful degradation when the low power amplifier failed one by one.

A power amplifier is one of important factors for basestation's efficiency and the researches for efficency enhancement focus Doherty amplifier structure with GaN power devices in these days. A memory effect of Doherty amplifier affect operation characteristics for linearity and efficiency. This paper reports on electrothermal nonlinearity modeling and compensation for GaN Doherty amplifier's distortion. Also this paper reports on the dynamic expression of the instantaneous junction temperature as a function of the instantaneous dissipated power. We design distortion model for GaN Doherty amplifier and predistortion compensator for electrothermal memory effect from the proposed behavior model parameters. The simulations was evaluated by ADS Tools and GaN Doherty amplifier with 37dBm. The GaN Doherty amplifier with compensator enhanced about 16dB than without electrothemal memory effect compensator in 2-tone output spectrum.

In this paper, we propose an inverted type asymmetric Doherty amplifier with optimized efficiency characteristic in wanted output power back-off (OPBO) range according to peak to average power ratio of input signal In order to obtain optimized efficiency of the asymmetric Doherty amplifier in wanted OPBO, peak power ratio between main amplifier and peaking amplifier was determined and then impedance of 90 degrees impedance transformer was obtained by peak power ratio. The offset line length and peak dividing ratio of the asymmetric Doherty amplifier were also calculated. From the measurement results, the proposed amplifier has achieved 40 % drain efficiency and -35 dBc adjacent channel leakage ratio at the average output power of 48.7 dBm for CDMA 2000 1x 3-FA test signal.
