Abstract

The invention relates to a method for amplifying a carrier signal (CS1) by using a power amplifier (PA1), the power amplifier (PA1) is feed with a supply voltage (PASV1) of a power supply (SMPS1). The method comprises the step of adapting a value of the supply voltage (PASV1) to a value related to a mean signal power of an input signal (DS) of a power amplifier system (PAS1).
