Efficiency and Bandwidth Extension of Dual-Input Doherty Amplifiers Using Frequency-Domain Adaptive Input Power Distribution
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Phase adjustment and uneven power-splitting are two common methods of improving the efficiency and bandwidth of dual-input Doherty Power Amplifiers (DPAs), also known as Digital Doherty PAs (DDPAs). In this paper, we propose a frequency-dependent input power-splitting technique that improves the power-added efficiency (PAE) and bandwidth of the DDPA while maintaining a constant linearity performance compared to analog (or conventional) Doherty mode. The proposed splitting functions are obtained from the measurements conducted using a multi-tone signal and optimum power-splitting factors extracted using a Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) at each frequency within the 3-dB bandwidth of the DDPA. Multi-tone measurements were performed using a gallium-nitride (GaN)-based DDPA, demonstrating an extension of the bandwidth by almost 110 MHz without any penalty to linearity or efficiency. The PAE improvement, however, varied across the DDPA’s bandwidth, ranging from 2.25% to 8.15%. The performance of the splitting functions was then assessed using a 50 MHz 64-QAM modulated signal centered at 1.95 and 2.2 GHz. The results illustrated that the adjacent-channel power ratio remained below those measured under conventional Doherty mode. Furthermore, PAE improvements of 2.85% and 7.88% were achieved at 1.95 and 2.2 GHz, respectively, while substantial gain flatness improvement was attained.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
