An amplifier includes an envelope detection unit that detects an envelope of a transmission signal; a comparing unit that compares a voltage of the envelope with a reference voltage; a selecting unit that selects, in accordance with a comparison result obtained by the comparing unit, an amplifying element that amplifies the transmission signal from among a plurality of amplifying elements each having different operating power; a voltage control unit that controls, in accordance with the envelope, a voltage that is used to amplify the transmission signal in the amplifying element that is selected by the selecting unit; a current measuring unit that measures a current of a power supply that supplies the voltage that is controlled by the voltage control unit; and a reference voltage control unit that controls the reference voltage such that the current measured by the current measuring unit decreases.
