Abstract ― We have extended the classical Doherty amplifier to support CDMA base station power amplifiers that require high efficiency and good linearity. At first, we have estimated three transistors, Motorola’s MRF21085, MRF5S21090 and MRF5P21180 LDMOS’s, to confirm the suitability for Doherty operation. Since the MRF21085 transistor is not suitable, w
