An amplifier circuit performs a characteristic correction process and a smooth curvilinear process on an input signal before being subjected to amplification. The characteristic correction process is a frequency characteristic process, which is performed on the input signal so as to produce a processed signal (Vp). Either the input signal or the processed signal, or the mixture of these signals is subjected to the smooth curvilinear process whose start point is designated by a state variation of amplification (VxTyp). Alternatively it is subjected to a gain decrement process instead of the smooth curvilinear process when the state variation of amplification is less than a default value (VxTHD). Thus, it is possible to prevent clipping from occurring in the amplified output signal while maintaining an adequate power.
