Abstract

The present invention relates to a feed-forward amplifying device suitable for radio communication systems such as digital automobile telephone. In the feed-forward amplifying device which includes a distortion extracting loop circuit unit including a main amplifier which amplifies a main signal in a main signal system, the distortion extracting loop circuit unit creating a distortion extracting signal by controlling the phase of the main signal the distortion extracting signal obtained by canceling the main signal component of an output from the main amplifier; and a distortion removing loop circuit unit arranged at the rear stage of the main amplifier, the distortion removing loop circuit unit producing only the main signal component from a signal in the main signal system at the rear stage of the main amplifier using the distortion extracting signal obtained by canceling the main signal component, the distortion extracting loop circuit unit executes phase control by shifting a phase control point where the main signal can be most canceled, thus creating the distortion extracting signal. This device can improve the power efficiency with a small back-up of the amplifier and stably…
