Offset line length determination with an ‘open’ Smith chart.
• The same offset lines were used for both Main and Peaking amplifier.
• The ideal offset line of the peaking amplifier is open at the combiner point (see
Figure 4).
• Pulsed measurement (efficiency) at back-off power showed that this was also correct
for the main amplifier.
3.2 Modeling
The characteristics of the offset line can be determined by passive models (equivalent), or
active models of the transistor. Both methods give similar results. Figure 5 shows the
broadband (peaking) amplifier output matching (block X5, BB_output_888A) and the
active models (component X2 and X7). Figure 6 shows the broadband matching
configuration of BLF888A in detail.

2-way Doherty amplifier with BLF888A
• The offset line length at 675 MHz is not optimum and this will result in slightly lower
efficiency compared to 710 MHz
• The broadband matching of the amplifier blocks has a significant influence on the
measured efficiency
• The broadband amplifiers were not correctly tuned below 500 MHz which influenced
the result of the 500 MHz design at the lower frequencies
• In some measurements, extra attenuation at the input of the main amplifier was added
(parallel 50 resistor to ground). This only gave slightly better results. This was
frequency-dependent due to the changing input matching over frequency. A better
option would be to use an asymmetrical splitter design.
