Abstract
A power amplifier that reduces intermodulation distortion generated by the amplifier while reducing the number of parts is provided. A power amplifier comprises a first balun, to which a combined signal combining two signals of different frequencies is inputted, and which outputs, based on the combined signal, the first and the second signal whose phase are opposite; a first amplifier that outputs the first amplified signal containing the differential frequency component comprising the difference of the frequencies of two signals from the first signal; a second amplifier that outputs the second amplified signal containing the component comprising the difference of the frequencies of two signals from the second signal; and a second balun that outputs the combined signal of the first and the second amplified signals. The component contained in the first and the second amplified signal are inputted via the second and the first amplifier, respectively, to reduce the component.
