Doherty power amplifier combiner with tunable impedance termination circuit. A signal combiner can include a balun transformer circuit having a first coil and a second coil. The first coil can be implemented between a first port and a second port. The second coil can be implemented between a third port and a fourth port. The first port and the third port can be coupled by a first capacitor. The second port and fourth port can be coupled by a second capacitor. The first port can be configured to receive a first signal. The fourth port can be configured to receive a second signal. The second port can be configured to yield a combination of the first signal and the second signal. The signal combiner can include a termination circuit that couples the third port to a ground. The termination circuit can include a tunable impedance circuit.
