Abstract
Systems and methods related to linear and efficient broadband power amplifiers are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method for amplifying a radio-frequency signal includes providing a Doherty amplifier circuit having a carrier amplification path and a peaking amplification path. The method includes receiving an radio-frequency signal and splitting the radio-frequency signal into a first portion and a second portion, the first portion provided to the carrier amplification path, the second portion provided to the peaking amplification path. The method further includes combining, using a balance to unbalance circuit, outputs of the carrier amplification path and the peaking amplification path to yield an amplified radio-frequency signal.
