    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a more effective structure of a power amplifier. SOLUTION: In a power amplifier system, a signal is adaptively distributed by the structure of an amplifier comprising amplifiers disposed in parallel. For example, the power amplifier system adjusts the operation of each amplifier within the structure of the amplifier, and for example, a power process function of the amplifier is decreased based on the information of a signal to be amplified by the structure of the amplifier, for example, a power level. By utilizing this adjusted operation of the amplifier, the power amplifier system uses a variable power divider for redistributing the input signal power to a plurality of amplifiers; and at least one variable coupler for combining an amplified signal from the amplifier in conformity to conditions when changing a division rate. Thus, the power amplifier system can be reconstituted corresponding to the change in order to improve the performance and/or efficiency.

    Abstract: A power amplifier system (40) uses adaptive distribution of signals through an amplifier architecture of parallel amplifier stages (26 a-d). For example, the power amplifier system can adjust the operation of individual amplifier stages in the amplifier arrangement, for example to reduce power handling capability of the amplifier stages based on information of the signal to be amplified by the amplifier arrangement, such as the power level. To take advantage of the adjusted operation of the amplifier stages, the power amplifier system uses a variable power divider (48) to reapportion the input signal power among the amplifier stages and at least one variable combiner (50) to adaptively combine amplified signals from the amplifier stages in changing proportions. As such, the power amplifier system is reconfigurable and/or can adapt to changing conditions to provide improved performance and/or efficiency.
