Abstract
The efficiency and linearity are enhanced by a direct input dividing and an uneven power drive. An optimized envelope tracking (ET) operation of Doherty power amplifier (PA) is presented. The PA and the supply modulator are realized using a 2 μm InGaP/GaAs HBT and 0.13 μm CMOS processes, respectively. For WiMAX application, it shows a PAE of 38.6% and an EVM of 3.64% at an output power of 24.22 dBm with a gain of 24.62 dB.
