Abstract:With an increasing interest in backwards compatibility for existing satellites and the emerging satellite markets, wireless transceivers at Ku band are increasing in popularity. This paper presents the design of a four-way digitally driven Doherty amplifier, aimed at applications in Ku-band. Single tone measurements indicate a maximum drain efficiency of 53.4% at a maximum of 19.2 dBm output power. The final output power can readily be adjusted by changing the biasing in each stage accordingly. The N-way Doher… Show more
