Four-Way Microstrip-Based Power Combining for Microwave Outphasing Power Amplifiers

A lossless multi-way outphasing and power combining system for microwave power amplification is presented. The architecture addresses one of the primary drawbacks of Chireix outphasing; namely, the sub-optimal loading conditions for the branch power amplifiers. In the proposed system, four saturated...
