Abstract
Gallium nitride (GaN) high‐electron mobility transistor (HEMT) Doherty amplifiers with the optimized linearity for wide‐band code division multiple access (WCDMA) applications are represented. At a 7‐dB back‐off output power, the measured single‐carrier WCDMA results show two‐way and three‐way GaN HEMT Doherty amplifiers with an adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) of −43.2 and −48.2 dBc at ±2.5 MHz offset frequency with a drain efficiency of 43.1% and 30.9%, respectively. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 50: 701–705, 2008; Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). DOI 10.1002/mop.23181

## Abstract In this article, we propose a highly linear and efficient two‐stage GaN HEMT asymmetrical Doherty power amplifier (ADPA) for WCDMA applications. The first‐stage driving DPA not only improves the linearity as the predistortion circuit but also reduces the power consumption in the driving
## Abstract In this article, we propose a highly linear and efficient three‐way Doherty amplifier using two‐stage GaN HEMT cells for repeater systems. The driving cells are used as the predistortion circuit to improve linearity as well as the gain stage. The main cells are optimized to achieve high
