Abstract

A method and an NE for controlling power amplification are provided. The method for controlling power amplification includes: outputting a voltage signal according to the state of an NE; applying the voltage signal to a grid electrode or a base electrode of at least one power amplifier transistor in a power amplifier. Thus, static power dissipation of the power amplifier can be eliminated when no RF power is output, and the efficiency of the power amplifier can be improved by using the above method and NE.
