The present invention proposes a power amplification under variable
envelope excitation, wherein an original input signal at least is
converted into a phase modulated signal part, at least the phase
modulated signal part is fed to an input port of an amplifier unit, the
input signal is amplified by dynamically selecting a fixed power supply
(PSU 1, PSU 2, PSU 3) for the amplifier unit, and wherein the amplitude
content of the original input signal is reconstructed by changing
dependent on the respective provided power supply a further controllable
input of the amplifier unit, in particular the input power level
(P.sub.in) and/or the biasing voltage (U.sub.g) and/or biasing current at
the control input of the amplifier unit, during said step of amplifying.
