The embodiments described herein include amplifiers that are typically used in radio frequency (RF) applications. Specifically, the amplifiers described herein include a phase distortion compensation circuit that can compensate for input impedance variations that could otherwise lead to reduced efficiency and power performance. In one specific embodiment, the phase distortion compensation circuit is used to compensate for input impedance variations in the peaking amplifiers of a Doherty amplifier. In such embodiments, the phase distortion compensation circuit can absorb the non-linear input impedances of the peaking amplifiers in a way that may facilitate improved phase maintenance between the carrier and peaking stages of the Doherty amplifier.
