A wireless communication apparatus includes: a first amplifier configured to amplify an input signal; a second amplifier configured to amplify the input signal when an input level of the input signal is equal to or larger than a given level; an impedance converter configure to switch an load impedance of the first amplifier and output a composite output of an output from the first amplifier and an output from the second amplifier; an impedance controller section configured to control a switching of the load impedance of the first amplifier based on a bandwidth of the input signal; a distortion compensation section configured to perform distortion compensation of the input signal and supply a compensated input signal to the first amplifier and the second amplifier; and a filter section configured to limit a band of a signal output from the impedance converter.

Wireless communication apparatus, Doherty amplifier, and method for controlling wireless communication

A power amplifying apparatus has a GaN device for RF amplification, a GaN device for monitoring, an Idq detecting circuit, and a gate bias control (GBC) circuit. The GaN device for RF amplification amplifies an input signal to output the resultant. The GaN device for monitoring is an amplification device for monitoring an input/output signal of the GaN device for RF amplification. The Idq detecting circuit detects an output signal output by the GaN device for monitoring, corresponding to an input signal, which is diverged from the input signal to be input to the GaN device for RF amplification, and is input to the GaN device for monitoring. The gate bias control circuit controls a gate voltage to be applied to the GaN device for RF amplification in accordance with the output signal detected by the Idq detecting circuit.
