BASEBAND FREQUENCY SELECTIVE MAGNITUDE AND PHASE ADJUSTMENT FOR WIDEBAND DOHERTY POWER AMPLIFIER
A method and transmitter for a Doherty power amplifier are provided. According to one aspect, a radio transmitter includes, for each carrier frequency, a filter, a main path and a peak path. The filter suppresses signals outside the selected frequency band to produce a filter output. The main path is configured to make a first adjustment of a magnitude and phase of the filter output to produce a main path signal. The peak path is configured to make a second adjustment of the magnitude and phase of the filter output to produce a peak path signal, a difference between the first adjustment and the second adjustment being dependent on the carrier frequency. Main path signals for each carrier frequency produce a composite main path signal. Peak path signals for each carrier frequency produce a composite peak path signal.

By means of detecting the rising/falling edge of an original signal, the resulting pulse signal contains the phase information of a single 0 bit and a single 1 bit in the original signal, thus the phase of a rising edge or the phase of a falling edge of the original signal may be compensated respectively, so as to compensate for the high-frequency attenuation caused by interference between signals.
