A method for amplifying electric signals, an amplifier circuit and application of this amplifier circuit as the modulator stage of a subsequent amplifier, employing a variable anode voltage for the purpose of improving the efficiency of amplifiers and particularly of high-power modulation amplifiers which are used, for example, in broadcast transmitters for the amplitude modulation of the radio-frequency output stage. From the modulation signal to be amplified, a control signal is derived in a control stage, this control signal being associated with the amplitude of the envelope of this modulation signal and being used for controlling the output voltage of a modulator/rectifier. The control signal is caused to follow the modulation signal within a presettable response time.
