Doherty Amplifier

[Andre Kesteloot]

Indeed, RCA marketed this set up as the Ampliphase.
In my misspent youth, I worked for RCA International, and remember the 
Ampliphase transmitters quite well.
It worked very well on the medium wave band (known in the US as the AM 
band) but was more difficult to use on HF, mainly because returning it 
was quite touchy.
(In HF broadcasting some of the station's transmitters need to be 
returned to another HF band every couple of hours of so).
