    Abstract: The invention provides a radio frequency (RF) amplifier apparatus including an amplifier and a resonance circuit. An input terminal of the amplifier receives an RF signal. The amplifier amplifies a first frequency component of the RF signal and outputs the amplified first frequency component to an output terminal of the amplifier. A first terminal and a second terminal of the resonance circuit are respectively coupled to the input terminal and the output terminal of the amplifier. The resonance circuit provides a low impedance path for a second frequency component of the RF signal between the input terminal and the output terminal of the amplifier, and provides a high impedance path for the first frequency component of the RF signal between the input terminal and the output terminal of the amplifier.
