A Reactance Compensated Three-Device Doherty Power Amplifier for Bandwidth and Back-Off Range Extension

This paper proposes a new broadband Doherty power amplifier topology with extended back-off range. A shunted λ/4 short line or λ/2 open line working as compensating reactance is introduced to the conventional load modulation network, which greatly improves its bandwidth. Underlying bandwidth extensi...
