ABSTRACT:
An amplifier capable of lowering an electrical current flowing in a peak amplifier before a carrier amplifier becomes saturated to thereby improve the efficiency of an entirety of the amplifier is provided. The amplifier includes a carrier amplifier circuit having an amplifying element operable in class-AB or class-B, and a plurality of peak amplifier circuits which have amplifying elements operating in class-B or class-C and which are arranged to start an operation in stages in response to an input level. An output of the carrier amplifier circuit and outputs of the peak amplifier circuits are combined together for signal output. One of the peak amplifier circuits which is rendered operative at the lowest input level is smaller in saturation output than the carrier amplifier circuit.
