The invention refers to a Doherty power amplifier comprising a first power amplifier (Main PA) adapted to receive an input signal and adapted to provide a first output signal which is phase shifted with respect to the input signal. The amplifier further comprises a second power amplifier (Peak PA), adapted to receive a phase shifted input signal and adapted to provide a second output signal. The power amplifier is characterized in that at least one of the first or the second power amplifiers comprises a first driver power amplifier (T1) comprising a first gate input and a first drain output. The first driver power amplifier (T1) is coupled to a first output power amplifier (T2) comprising a second gate input and a second drain output. The first gate input and the second gate input are adapted to receive a control signal, the control signal being obtained after an envelope detection provided by an envelope detector coupled to the input signal.
