A composite power amplifier for amplification of an input signal into an output signal is disclosed. The composite power amplifier comprises an input port for receiving the input signal, and an output port for providing the output signal. Furthermore, the composite power amplifier comprises a first set of sub-amplifiers, comprising at least two sub-amplifiers, wherein the at least two sub-amplifiers are arranged along a taper of a first transmission line, wherein the first transmission line is connected to the first set of sub-amplifiers and the output port. Moreover, the composite power amplifier comprises a second set of sub-amplifiers, comprising at least two sub-amplifiers, wherein the at least two sub-amplifiers are arranged along a taper of a second transmission line, wherein the second transmission line is connected to the second set of sub-amplifiers and the output port.
