Claim 3:
4. The power amplifier of claim 1, wherein:
the main amplifier, the first peaking amplifier, and the second peaking amplifier are provided in three parallel circuit branches of the power amplifier; and
the power amplifier further comprises a power splitter or coupler that divides a received signal into a second circuit branch of the three parallel circuit branches that contains the first peaking amplifier and into a third circuit branch of the three parallel circuit branches that contains the second peaking amplifier, wherein a carrier wave for a signal travelling from the splitter or coupler to the second combining node in the third circuit branch accrues N×180° additional phase compared to the carrier wave for a signal travelling from the power splitter or coupler to the second combining node in the second circuit branch, wherein N is an integer greater than 0.
