Hi,
I would like to ask the following:
1) For designing the carrier and peaking amplifers separately, is it correct if i match the o/p of the carrier to 100ohm and peaking to 50ohm, or both to 100ohm (for load pull simulations), before finally combining them altogether? I've already read many theses and papers but they sometimes don't agree on this sadly.
2) For an easier way of designing, can i first simulate the carrier amplifier, find the o/p compression point, then design my peaking amplifier to make sure the current starts to increase (an indication that the peaking amplifier turns on) at where the o/p compression point of the carrier amplifier is so that load modulation takes place?
