A signal processing method and device are used to obtain multi-band signals that enable a dual-input power amplifier to achieve high working performance during amplification. The device can decompose and combine analog radio frequency signals of at least two frequency bands by using an analog signal decomposition apparatus and a combination apparatus, to obtain two paths of multi-band signals whose spectra include the at least two frequency bands. The two paths of signals satisfy nonlinearity of the dual-input power amplifier. Therefore, after the two paths of signals are input into the dual-input power amplifier, the dual-input power amplifier can achieve optimal working performance.

The present application provides a multiband power amplification apparatus. The first input terminal receives a signal in a frequency band f; the second input terminal receives a signal in a frequency band f. The first adjustment module adjusts a first channel of signal and then outputs an adjusted first channel of signal to the first adder. The second adjustment module adjusts a third channel of signal and then outputs an adjusted third channel of signal to the first adder. The first adder converges the signal adjusted by the second adjustment module and the signal output by the first adjustment module and then outputs a converged signal to a first digital-to-analog converter. The second adder converges a second channel of signal and a fourth channel of signal and then outputs a converged signal to a second digital-to-analog converter.
