Abstract

The performance of an amplifying system is improved by achieving adequate matching. The amplifying system for amplifying signals includes distributing means 1 that distribute a signal, a carrier amplifier 2 that amplifies the distributed first signal in Class AB, a peak amplifier 4 that amplifies the distributed second signal in Class B or Class C, a first transmission line having a given electric length and being connected to an output of the carrier amplifier, a second transmission line having a given electric length and being connected to an output of the peak amplifier, and a combining end 18 for combining an output of the first transmission line and an output of the second transmission line. An impedance of the combining end is differentiated from a parallel impedance of load impedances of the carrier amplifier and the peak amplifier at the maximum power converted respectively by the first transmission line and the second transmission line, or is set as a parallel impedance in which the load impedances of the carrier amplifier and the peak amplifier at the maximum power are changed.
