The carrier amplifier 11 includes a main amplifying element and a parasitic element, and the peaking amplifier includes an auxiliary amplifying element and a parasitic element. The phase compensation circuit has a negative electrical length that allows a total electrical length of a signal transmission path starting from an output source of the main amplifying element to a power combiner to become 180°×N?90° where N is a positive integer. In addition, a signal transmission path starting from an output source of the auxiliary amplifying element to the power combiner has an electrical length of 180°×M?180° where M is a positive integer.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2017Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Keigo Nakatani, Shintaro Shinjo, Koji Yamanaka
