Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A low distortion Doherty high-power amplifier has been developed for cellular base stations. The amplifier delivered 330W-saturated output-power at 2.14GHz with a pair of 28V operated 150W GaAs heterojunction field-effect-transistors. Utilizing the distortion cancellation effect between the main and the peak amplifiers in Doherty configuration, it demonstrated low third order intermodulation of -37dBc with a high drain efficiency of 42% at an output power of 49dBm around 6dB back-off level under the two-carrier wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) signals of 2.135GHz and 2.145GHz. In addition, we proposed the evaluation techniques to obtain each AM-AM and AM-PM characteristics of the main and the peak amplifiers in an operating Doherty amplifier, and experimentally proved the distortion cancellation effect in the GaAs FET Doherty amplifier.
