Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to a Doherty power amplifier and an input signal processing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Doherty power amplifier technology is a commonly used technology to improve the efficiency of power amplifiers. The basic principle of the ideal Doherty power amplifier is to amplify the signal by a parallel combination of a pair of amplifiers, in which the carrier amplifier works in class AB, and the peak amplifier works in class C, and the class C amplifier only conducts when the peak value comes. pass, the two amplifiers are connected by an input power divider and an output combiner. [0003] With the advent of 5G mobile communications, when the classic Doherty power amplifier works on broadband signals, such as 80-200MHz, and the peak-to-average ratio PAPR is 7.5-12dB, it usually sacrifices the back-off small signal efficiency to meet the linearity and other ...
