Doherty combiner

Abstract

The present invention relates to a Doherty combiner used in a Doherty power amplifier, the Doherty combiner comprising: a phase shift section connected to one end of a carrier amplifier so as to change a phase of an RF signal output from the carrier amplifier; a matching section connected to an output terminal of the Doherty power amplifier so as to impedance-match an output of the Doherty power amplifier; and a bandwidth improvement section connected to one end of a peaking amplifier so as to change at least one of a phase bandwidth and an amplitude bandwidth of the Doherty power amplifier.
