An outphasing amplifier includes a first class-E power amplifier (16-1) having an output coupled to a first conductor (31-1) and an input receiving a first RF drive signal (S1(t)). A first reactive element (CA-1) is coupled between the first conductor and a second conductor (30-1). A second reactive element (LA-1) is coupled between the second conductor and a third conductor (32-1). A second class-E power amplifier (17-1) includes an output coupled to a fourth conductor (31-2) and an input coupled to a second RF drive signal (S2(t)), a third reactive element (CA-3) coupled between the second and fourth conductors. Outputs of the first and second power amplifiers are combined by the first, second and third reactive elements to produce an output current in a load (R). An efficiency enhancement circuit (LEEC-1) is coupled between the first and fourth conductors to improve power efficiency at back-off power levels. Power enhancement circuits (20-1,2) are coupled to the first and fourth conductors, respectively.
