Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed is a Doherty power amplifier. At least one power amplification tube and other power amplification tubes in the Doherty power amplifier are located in different planes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A Doherty power amplifier, comprising at least one Carrier power amplification tube and at least one Peaking power amplification tube, wherein at least one Carrier power amplification tube is arranged in a different plane from at least one Peaking power amplification tube so as to overlap longitudinally. 2. The Doherty power amplifier according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the Doherty power amplifier is smaller than a width formed by locating all the power amplification tubes in the same plane. 3. The Doherty power amplifier according to claim 1 , wherein when there are two or more Carrier power amplification tubes, all the Carrier power amplification tubes are located in different planes so as to overlap longitudinally; or, at least two Carrier power amplification tubes in all the Carrier power amplification tubes are located in the same plane. 4. The Doherty power amplifier according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one Carrier power amplification tube and the at least one Peaking power amplification tube in the Doherty power amplifier are arranged on at least one Printed Circuit Board (PCB). 5. The Doherty power amplifier according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one PCB is a single-side PCB. 6. The Doherty power amplifier according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one Carrier power amplification tubes and the at least one Peaking power amplification tube are connected via a combining or branching structure which comprises a radio frequency cable or a three-dimensional micro-strip line. 7. The Doherty power amplifier according to claim 4 , further comprising a cover plate for the at least one Carrier power amplification tube or the at least one Peaking power amplification tubes in the same plane, wherein the cover plate and the PCB, where the at least one Carrier power amplification tube or the at least one Peaking power amplification tubes are located, form a shielding cavity for surrounding the at least one Carrier power amplification tube or the at least one Peaking power amplification tube. 8. The Doherty power amplifier according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one power amplification tube path, wherein each power amplification tube path comprises at least one Carrier power amplification tube and at least one Peaking power amplification tube. 9. The Doherty power amplifier according to claim 1 , wherein when there are two or more Peaking power amplification tubes, all the Peaking power amplification tubes are located in different planes so as to overlap longitudinally; or, at least two Peaking power amplification tubes in all the Peaking power amplification tubes are located in the same plane. 10. The Doherty power amplifier according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one PCB is a double-side PCB. 11. The Doherty power amplifier according to claim 10 , wherein one of the at least one Carrier power amplification tube and one of the at least one Peaking power amplification tube are arranged respectively on two sides of the double-side PCB.
