A 40 W gallium-nitride microwave Doherty power amplifier for WCDMA repeater applications is presented. The main amplifier and peaking amplifier are implemented using two 20 W PEP GaN HEMTs. Performance is evaluated for broadband gain, power efficiency and adjacent-channel-power-ratio (ACPR). Experimental results of the GaN Doherty amplifier yielded a power gain of over 11 dB from 1.8 to 2.5 GHz, 68% power added efficiency at 40 W peak power. Good linearity performance of −48 dBc ACPR is obtained at a peak-to-average ratio of 9.8 dB.
