Abstract:
This article introduces Doherty active load modulation into low-noise amplifier (LNA) designs to dynamically enhance linearity. Under nominal small-signal conditions, the proposed LNA operates like conventional counterparts, consuming no additional power. When strong in-band blockers are present, auxiliary paths are adaptively engaged to activate a high-linearity mode without incurring a …
