Abstract

The present invention relates to a power amplifier and to a method of amplifying in the power amplifier a first composite radio signal that includes at least two modulated carrier waves. The first radio signal is divided into two radio signals, which are amplified in a first and a second non-linear amplifier. Intermodulation products arise in the amplification of said radio signals in respective amplifiers. A compensation signal is generated from the output signal of the second amplifier, and the modulated carrier waves are suppressed selectively, e.g. by filtering out the carrier waves in band-stop filters. An output signal from the power amplifier is generated by reverse phase addition of the compensation signal to the output signal from the first amplifier.
