Background technology
For radio communication, emitter is essential, and in emitter can not be exactly radio-frequency power amplification
Device.As digital mobile communication technology develops rapidly, to increase channel capacity, communication channel experienced from 150M and move on to 800-
900MHz, develop again to 3300-3600MHz frequency ranges now to 2300-2600MHz again later.Sent out to save frequency spectrum resource
A variety of systems are put on display:Frequency division multiple access, time division multiple acess, CDMA etc. have been used to digital mobile communication system.Go out again now
MC-CDMA (CDMA-MC) and OFDM (OFDM) system are showed.Moreover, new qam mode
Also reach its maturity, its maximum feature is to save frequency bandwidth.All these systems have common feature:1st, overloading wave system is belonged to
System;2nd, base-band signal spectrum has larger dynamic range.For example, in third generation gsm system, while enter system difference carrier wave
Level between may have up to 100dB difference.As can be seen here, along with the development of Modern Communication System, to power amplification
The requirement of device also more and more higher.
For the linearity, the power amplifier of communication system is always applied in large-scale condition, is operated in other words
Near P1dB operating point, this non-linear hour becomes even more serious:Third order intermodulation distortion, harmonic distortion, amplitude modulation(PAM) transfer are lost
Very, amplitude modulation and phase modulation transfer mistake etc. can all occur.When multicarrier inputs, influence maximum to system transmission signal is that three ranks are handed over
Adjust distortion.Under many occasions, in order to ensure the linearity of power amplifier, but cost is that efficiency reduces, power output reduces.
So the linearisation of power amplifier increasingly becomes focus of concern, although the development of microelectric technique, chip technology
Improve constantly the linearity of power amplifier, but linearity proposition of the lifting change of communication system always to power amplifier is higher
Requirement.RF linear high power amplifier is in the systems such as radar, radio communication, navigation, satellite communication, countermeasures set
Have a wide range of applications, be one of critical component of Modern wireless communication, therefore to the research of RF linear high power amplifier
Have very important significance.
In order to meet the requirement of linear and efficiency, prior art is realized typically in the form of Doherty power amplifiers, for
Low frequency radio frequency power amplifier, due to pipe price costly, therefore the problem of cost is higher be present.
