Abstract:
In this work, we propose a novel adaptive control on digital Doherty Power Amplifier (DPA) for efficiency andgain enhancement. Unlike traditional DPA design, we propose Simultaneously Perturbated Stochastic Approximation (SPSA) optimization algorithm by considering phase difference, power distribution and gate voltage parameters of main and peak amplifiers in order to achieve optimal performance. The optimal performance is defined as good linearity, Power Added Efficiency (PAE) and gain. We mainly investigate the efficiency and gain improvements since the linearity can be separately addressed by traditional DPD techniques. Even though we found that the cost function of optimization exists in several local optimums, they are very close, and thereby local minimum is not of great concern in this optimization. In addition, we approximate the DPA circuit model for the fast verification using regression model. Finally, we exam the algorithm in SystemVue and ADS co-simulation environment.

NEWS Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and MERL Press Release Describes Future Digitally Controlled Power Amplifier Date: January 10, 2019
Where: Tokyo, Japan
MERL Contacts: Mouhacine Benosman; Philip V. Orlik
Research Areas: Communications, Electronic and Photonic Devices, Machine Learning, Signal ProcessingBrief- Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced today its development of the world's first ultra-wideband digitally controlled gallium nitride (GaN) amplifier, which is compatible with a world-leading range of sub-6GHz bands focused on fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication systems. With a power efficiency rating of above 40%, the amplifier is expected to contribute to large-capacity communication and reduce the power consumption of mobile base stations.
MERL and Mitsubishi Electric researchers collaborated to develop digital control methods for amplifiers achieving high-efficiency of 40% and above, with 110% of the fractional bandwidth over frequency range 1.4-4.8 GHz. The digital control signals are designed using a learning-function based on Maisart®.
