    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a power amplifier with a monitoring device monitoring and protecting a system by providing a signal modulating means modulating the gain of an inputted signal and a monitor controlling means impressing a gain control signal to the signal modulating means. SOLUTION: Concerning a signal from power amplifiers PA-1 to PA-N, N inputted signal to be composed by a signal composer CB is impressed to a vector modulator 16 in a case when an RF switch 20 is on (closed), in order to provide an output signal impressed to a load L. A microcontroller MC controls the vector modulator for varying the phase and gain of an RF signal. In addition, the microcontroller MC monitors the operation of an amplifier system, varies the phase or gain of the RF signal and controls the operation of the switch 20 and a DC switch 40 to control the system. The signal modulating means varies the gain of the inputted signal and the monitor control means impresses the gain control signal to the signal modulating means in order to control the gain of the inputted signal.
