Abstract:
A power supply circuit (10) includes: a linear amplifier (11) for generating a linear amplification signal based on an input signal; a first switching amplifier (12) for generating a first switching amplification signal of a first frequency band based on the linear amplification signal; a second switching amplifier (13) for generating a second switching amplification signal of a second frequency band based on the first switching amplification signal; and a power supply unit (14) for supplying a combined signal in which the linear amplification signal and the first and second switching amplification signals are combined to an external circuit as a power supply. It is therefore possible to improve the power efficiency.
