Abstract

A power adjustment method includes: measuring output power that is obtained when input power to be amplified in a linear region is input to a power amplifier configured to amplify input power linearly in the linear region and amplify input power nonlinearly in a nonlinear region; deriving a straight line connecting a measurement point corresponding to the measured output power and a boundary point between the linear region and the nonlinear region in a coordinate plane representing input/output characteristics; acquiring information on an approximate equation that is stored in advance in correspondence with the measured output power, the approximate equation representing a relation between input power and output power in the nonlinear region; and storing information on the derived straight line and the acquired information on the approximate equation in a semiconductor integrated circuit provided at a preceding stage of the power amplifier.
