Patent ID: 11916519

Abstract:
A high frequency amplifier includes an asymmetrical Doherty amplifier having a carrier amplifier, a peak amplifier, a branch circuit, and a phase adjusting circuit, a driver amplifier, and a base member mounting a first circuit board mounting the driver amplifier, the carrier amplifier, and the peak amplifier and a second circuit board mounting the circuits. The branch circuit divides a path of a RF signal into input paths of the peak and carrier amplifiers. The driver amplifier, the carrier amplifier, and the peak amplifier have rear surfaces in contact with the base member. The electrical length from the output terminal of the driver amplifier to the input terminal of the peak amplifier, when converted based on a phase of the signal, is from (2n+1)×π−α/4 to (2n+1)×π+π/4, where n is an integer greater than or equal to zero.
