Abstract: In this article, we propose a new impedance match method in serial Chireix combiner to improve the efficiency of Linear amplification with Nonlinear Components (LINC) amplifier. Based on the impedance characteristics of the serial Chireix combiner, two transmission lines are added between power amplifiers (PAs) and Chireix combiner in LINC. For experimental verification, the PAs and combiner are implemented and tested. From the measured results, this method is proved available for improving efficiency of LINC, and convenient for design as well as tuning work. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
