PA) using laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) technology is presented. A low impedance thru-reflect-line (TRL) calibration technique has been used to characterize the device and verify the large signal model of a commercial 10W packaged LDMOS device. A Doherty amplifier is designed using two of the 10W LDMOS devices as class AB main amplifier and class C peaking amplifier. A peak power added efficiency (PAE) of 52% (59% drain efficiency) and 45% has been simulated at the saturated output power of 43 dBm and 6 dB back off, respectively.
