A method of controlling a feedforward distortion compensation amplifier has steps of detecting a distortion component generated in a main amplifier by coupling a signal branched from a signal input to the main amplifier and containing a plurality of carriers of different frequencies to a signal branched from an output signal from the main amplifier so that the coupling causes the carrier components to cancel each other, recoupling the signal resulting from the coupling to the output signal from the main amplifier, and adjusting an amplitude and phase of at least one of the signals to be recoupled so that distortion components cancel each other upon recoupling, wherein a first and second pilot signals obtained from a first and second pilot signal sources are inserted into the input signal to or output signal from the main amplifier, parts of the signal resulting from the recoupling are taken out through branching, and the signals taken out through branching are mixed with the first and second pilot signals, respectively, and thus down-converted to generate down convert signals so that control signals to adjust the amplitude and phase are generated according to the down convert signals.
