Abstract
This work proposes a concise standalone model
for Chireix power combiner. The model is based on the
analysis of the nonlinear behaviour of a Chireix power combiner
under amplitude imbalance. The generalised equations for input
impedance of Chireix combiner branches excited by signals with
different amplitudes have been derived. The results predicted by
the model were validated using both commercial high frequency
circuit simulations and experimentally measured results. As a
result the proposed model serves two purposes. For one it can
be used directly in a larger circuit simulation to predict the
performance of an outphasing power amplifier. It can also be
used as the basis for a linearization strategy for outphasing power
amplifiers.
