Abstract
In this article, a fully integrated dual-band gallium nitride (GaN) Doherty power amplifier (DPA) based on multi-resonant circuits (MRCs) is presented. A lumped T-type network in combination with the output capacitances of the main and auxiliary transistors is able to realize the quarter-wavelength transformer (QWT) in DPA, and its component values are totally decided by the operating frequency, given a certain characteristic impedance. MRCs are proposed to exhibit the required component values at two different frequencies. By replacing each component in the T-type network with an MRC, a dual-band QWT can be achieved. An integrated dual-band DPA is implemented in a commercial 0.25- <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> GaN-HEMT process to validate the proposed method. The fabricated DPA shows a saturated output power of 43.8–44.7/44.4–44.8 dBm, a 6-dB back-off drain efficiency (DE) of 41%–46%/41.5%–47%, and a saturated DE of 49%–52%/56%–59% in 3.35–3.6/4.8–5.2 GHz, with a compact size of <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2.8\times3.5$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . Applying a 100-MHz OFDM signal with a 7.8-dB peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), an average efficiency of 37%/40% and an average power of 37/37 dBm are measured at 3.5/5.0 GHz, and the adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) is better than −49 dBc after digital predistortion (DPD). To the best of our knowledge, the proposed DPA is the first demonstration of fully integrated dual-band GaN DPAs.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
