Abstract:
The present invention relates to an integrated Doherty type amplifier arrangement and an amplifying method for such an arrangement, wherein a lumped element hybrid power divider (12) is provided for splitting input signals of main and peak amplifier stages (20, 30, 40) at predetermined phase shifts and non-equal division rates and at least one wideband lumped element artificial line (Z 1, Z2) combined with wideband compensation circuit for receiving said first amplified signal and for applying said predetermined phase shift to said first amplified signal and its higher harmonics. Thereby, the low gain of the peak amplifier is compensated by providing the non-equal power splitting at the input. Moreover, the use of the lumped element hybrid power divider leads to an improved isolation between the input ports of the main and peak amplifiers decreasing final distortions of the output signal.
