Latest Patents

Mellor’s patent, “Group III Nitride Doherty Amplifier Using Different Epitaxial Structures,” describes a Doherty amplifier with main and peaking amplifiers connected to the same input signal source. The two amplifiers use Group III nitride transistors made with different epitaxial structures from separate epiwafers.

The disclosed manufacturing approach forms the amplifier components on their respective wafers, dices the wafers into amplifier dies, and mounts both dies on a common heat sink. The main and peaking amplifiers are then electrically connected to the input signal source. Using different epitaxial structures for the two amplifier stages is the central feature of the patented design.
