POWER AMPLIFICATION DEVICE

摘要

A power amplification device includes: a DC power source for outputting a drain voltage; a Doherty amplifier which has a carrier amplifier and a peak amplifier connected in parallel and amplifies an RF signal; a voltage control circuit which outputs a first instruction so as to output a low voltage when the output power is below a predetermined value and a second instruction so as to output a high voltage when the output power is above the predetermined value; and a voltage conversion circuit which converts the drain voltage to a lower voltage and applies it to drain terminals of a carrier amplifier and a peak amplifier according to the first instruction and applies the drain voltage directly to the drain terminals of the carrier amplifier and the peak amplifier according to the second instruction.
