Problems solved by technology

[0002] With the development of wireless communication technology, the demand for data traffic is increasing, there are more and more communication standards, and more and more frequency bands are occupied. As an important part of the RF front-end, the efficiency and bandwidth of power amplifiers have become research hotspots. Especially with the advent of the 5G era, higher requirements are placed on the fallback efficiency of power amplifiers. However, the efficiency of traditional power amplifiers is very low at high power fallback. In order to maintain the efficiency of RF power amplifiers at fallback power, Doherty topology is widely used in RF power amplification
However, the traditional Doherty structure has obvious narrow-band working characteristics, which limits its application scenarios
like figure 1 As shown, in the traditional Doherty structure, the 1 / 4 wavelength line will produce dispersion phenomenon as the frequency deviates from the center frequency, so that the output impedance and the load are not completely matched
