PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Doherty amplifier capable of obtaining ideal linear amplification and power synthesis operations. SOLUTION: An amplifier device (FET) is employed for a peak amplifier 2 of the Doherty amplifier, the amplifier device having a nearly equal saturation drain current to that of a carrier amplifier 1, the same gate width (equivalent to nearly equal saturation power) as that of the carrier amplifier 1, and about a half the pinch-off voltage of that of the carrier amplifier 1. Thus, the ideal linear amplification operations can be obtained with a very high overall efficiency. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
