Abstract:
A power amplifier includes an amplifying circuit, and first through third transmission lines. The amplifying circuit amplifies an input signal having a fundamental frequency to generate a first amplified signal and a second amplified signal whose phase is opposed to the first amplified signal. The first transmission line adds a first group of phases, different in correspondence with a frequency, to the first amplified signal by using a left-handed material to generate a first transmission signal. The second transmission line adds a second group of phases, different in correspondence with a frequency, to the second amplified signal by using a right-handed material to generate a second transmission signal. The third transmission line overlaps the first and the second transmission signals to generate an output signal. The first and the second group of phases include a phase difference configured to weaken a second harmonic and a third harmonic.
