Doherty GaN-HEMT, 10 MHz 6.5 db (PAPR) LTE downlink. 33.4 dbm 13.1 db, 57.6 % (PAE) 25.7 dbc (ACLR). Abstract This paper presents a Doherty power amplifier(dpa) operating in the 2.6 GHz band for long term evolution(lte) systems. In order to achieve high efficiency, second and third harmonic impedances are controlled using a compact output matching network. The DPA was implemented using a gallium nitride high electron mobility transistor(gan-hemt) that has many advantages, such as high power density and high efficiency. The implemented DPA was measured using an LTE downlink signal with a 10 MHz bandwidth and 6.5 db PAPR. The implemented DPA exhibited a gain of 13.1 db, a power-added efficiency(pae) of 57.6 %, and an ACLR of 25.7 dbc at an average output power of 33.4 dbm.
