Abstract

A Doherty amplifier is configured to include a first transistor that amplifies a first signal and outputs the amplified first signal, a second transistor that amplifies a second signal and outputs the amplified second signal, and a combining circuit that combines the amplified first signal output from the first transistor and the amplified second signal output from the second transistor and outputs a combined signal of the amplified first signal and the amplified second signal, in which a signal mode in which the first signal amplified by the first transistor and the second signal amplified by the second transistor are combined in phase and a signal mode in which the first signal amplified by the first transistor and the second signal amplified by the second transistor are combined out of phase are switched in accordance with a frequency, and an operation mode is switched to a Doherty operation mode or an outphasing operation mode depending on the switched signal mode.
