  • APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR BIASING OF POWER AMPLIFIERS
    Publication number: 20240048101
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for biasing power amplifiers are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a power amplifier includes a bipolar transistor having a base biased by a bias network having a reactance that controls an impedance at the transistor base to achieve substantially flat phase response over large dynamic power levels. For example, the bias network can have a frequency response, such as a high-pass or band-pass response, that reduces the impact of power level on phase distortion (AM/PM).

  • Signal combiner having a tuned termination circuit on an isolation port for a Doherty power amplifier
    Patent number: 11764734
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a signal combiner for a Doherty power amplifier architecture, the signal combiner including a termination circuit on an isolation port, the termination circuit being tuned to improve performance of the Doherty power amplifier. The architecture includes a carrier amplifier and a peaking amplifier. The peaking amplifier modulates the load seen by the carrier amplifier, allowing the carrier amplifier to remain in high-efficiency, saturated operation even at back-off. This load modulation can be achieved using impedance matching networks having an impedance matched to a specific frequency. The architectures include tuned or tailored signal combiners with termination circuits on isolation ports. The termination circuits are tuned or tailored for particular operating frequencies to enhance operation.
