Abstract

In this paper, A Feedforward Linear Power Amplifier for IMT-2000 which IMD characteristics was improved was designed and fabricated. To improve the main power amplifier IMD characteristics, the Feedback loop was added to basic Feedforward Power Amplifier structure. Therefore, the output power of error amplifier can be reduced, and it is easy to control the linearization circuit to cancel total IMD. The designed power amplifier represented the 40㏈m(l0W) output power and -55㏈C 3rd IMD at Center frequency 2.14㎓ (@5㎒).
