Abstract

An amplifier includes a detector configured to detect a given value used for monitoring a change in a gain of an amplifying element amplifying a signal in response to a gate voltage applied to a gate terminal, and a controller configured to judge, based on the detected given value, whether or not the gate voltage is to be increased, and to determine the increased gate voltage in response to the given value when the controller judges that the gate voltage is to be increased.
