C O N T R I B U T E D P A P E R High-Efficiency Doherty Power Amplifiers: Historical Aspect and Modern Trends This overview of the Doherty amplifier covers broadband capabilities of a two-stage amplifier, conventional Doherty architectures, a digitally driven Doherty technique, and the amplifier applied to microwave integrated circuits. By Andrei Grebennikov, Senior Member IEEE and Senad Bulja, Member IEEE ABSTRACT | In modern wireless communication systems, it is techniques and Chireix outphasing [1], [2]. This new very important to realize simultaneously high-efficiency and technique achieves plate circuit efficiencies of up to 60%– linear operation of power amplifiers. This paper-overview 65% independent of modulation by means of a combined describes the historical aspect of the Doherty approach to the action of the variation of load distribution of the vacuum power-amplifier design introduced in 1936 and modern trends tubes, and the variation of the circuit impedance over the in Doherty amplifier (DA) design techniques using multistage modulation cycle.
