Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A power amplifier comprising:
a main amplifier coupled to a first combining node;
a first impedance inverter between the main amplifier and the first combining node;
a first peaking amplifier directly connected to the first combining node;
a second impedance inverter between the first combining node and a second combining node;
a second peaking amplifier coupled to the second combining node; and
a third impedance inverter between the second peaking amplifier and the second combining node, wherein:
the main amplifier outputs an amount of maximum power or current that differs by at least 20% from an amount of maximum power or current output by the first peaking amplifier and outputs the amount of maximum power or current that differs by at least 20% from an amount of maximum power or current output by the second peaking amplifier.
