<p>A feed forward amplifier comprises a main amplifier 10 composed of a plurality of power amplifiers 8 and 9 combined in parallel. In addition to the plurality of power amplifiers, this feed forward amplifier includes a distortion detecting amplifier 25 for detecting the distortion components, having a distortion characteristic in a predetermined relationship with the distortion characteristic of the main amplifier. It also omits a distortion detecting power combiner 23 otherwise located after a main amplifier 10 and locates a delay circuit 21 before the main amplifier 10 to reduce losses occurring after the main amplifier 10 to improve the efficiency of the entire feed forward amplifier. <IMAGE></p>
