Abstract

A Doherty power amplifier (100) includes: a first amplification circuit (110), including a main power amplification branch and at least one auxiliary power amplification branch; a delay device (383), connected in the main power amplification branch; a combiner network (140), configured to: perform impedance inversion on the first amplification circuit (110), and couple an output end of the main power amplification branch and an output end of the at least one auxiliary power amplification branch to a load (160); and a first power divider (130), connected to an input end of the main power amplification branch and an input end of the at least one auxiliary power amplification branch, and configured to allocate an input signal of the first power divider (130) to the main power amplification branch and the at least one auxiliary power amplification branch.
