In this paper, adaptive bias circuit and PBG structure have been employed to suppress IMD(Inter-Modulation Distortion) and improve PAE(Power Added Efficiency) of the Doherty amplifier. Gate bias voltage has been controlled with the envelope of the input RF signal and PBG structure has been employed on the output port of Doherty amplifier. The proposed power amplifier using adaptive bias circuit and PBG has been improved the $IMD_3$ by 7.5 dBc, and the average PAR by $12\%$, respectively.

In this paper, the high linear Doherty amplifier has been realized by employing the PBG(Photonic Band Gap) structure. The PBG structure has been employed on the output matching network of the power amplifier. The proposed Doherty amplifier has been improved in PAE and IMD. The PAE has been $36.4\%$ and the IMD has been -24.5 dBc, respectively.
