Abstract
Power amplifier is the main component of wireless communication system. This paper presentsthe efficiency improvement of linear Power amplifier for GSM base station using Doherty Power Amplifier (DPA). ADPA operating at 900 MHz and a supply voltage of (2.5-3)V. The DPA is a combination of a carrier amplifier biased to class AB mode and a peaking amplifier biased to class C mode. Each amplifier was design by GaAs FET using advance design system software package (ADS). The simulation results of DPA are compared with class AB power amplifier that ashow improvement in power added efficiency at output power with acceptable power gain.
