  • Abstract
    We proposed a new four-paralleled power amplifier combined in different phases in order to accomplish a low distortion and high efficiency in a wide range of load impedances. We studied them by simulation and experiment and realized an amplifier in which adjacent channel leakage power of /spl pi//4-DQPSK modulation was improved by 13 dB in the range of load VSWR/spl les/3 without decreasing efficiency.
