Embodiments of the present invention may provide a Doherty amplifier that includes a first amplifying path and at least one second amplifying path. The first amplifying path may include a carrier amplifier to amplify an input signal in a Class 1 mode. The second amplifying path may include a supplementary input matching circuit to input-match the input signal, a phase shifter to phase-shift an output from the supplementary input matching circuit, and a peak amplifier to amplify an output from the phase shifter in a Class 2 mode. The second amplifying path may further include a supplementary output matching circuit to output-match an output from the peak amplifier. The second amplifying path may provide an equivalent amplified output equivalent to the first amplifying path by cooperation of the supplementary input matching circuit and the supplementary output matching circuit. |
