Feedforward amplifier
 In a distortion injection path (15) wherein a detected distortion component of a main amplifier (23) becomes amplified, distortion by an auxiliary amplifier (29a) is detected by an auxiliary distortion detector (42) composed of a variable attenuator (27a), a variable phase shifter (28a), a first auxiliary amplifier (29a), a delay line (36) and a phase inverter (37), and the detected distortion is cancelled by an auxiliary distortion canceller (43) composed of a variable attenuator (27b), a variable phase shifter (28a), a second auxiliary amplifier (29b) and a delay line (39), thereby increasing the efficiency of the amplifier.
