ABSTRACT:
An amplifier comprises a carrier amplifier which performs signal amplification at all times, a peak amplifier which operates only at a time when the high electric power is outputted, a combiner which combines the output from the carrier amplifier and the peak amplifier, and a distributor which distributes an input signal to the carrier amplifier and the peak amplifier. The carrier amplifier and the peak amplifier are included in a single package transistor.
