Abstract

A novel approach for the linearization of dual input Doherty power amplifier (DPA) is derived by taking inspiration from the operation of the device. A new point of view is evaluated and an automatic identification procedure is developed, reducing the complexity of the predistorter, improving linearity and efficiency at the same time and avoiding the usage of crest factor reduction (CFR). It is also emphasized the importance of a power dependent phase relationship between the inputs of the dual input DPA. A validation of the theory is performed by means of a MATLAB/ADS envelope co-simulation.
