Abstract
A reconfigurable power amplifier includes at least one amplification circuit (E, E), and a circuit () for controlling the amplification circuit so as to adapt its operation according to an applied input signal (RF). The circuit for controlling includes a circuit () for modifying the compression point of the amplification circuit and for adapting the gain of the amplification circuit in such a manner as to increase the power added efficiency of the circuit for the modified compression point.
