A base station power amplifier for minimizing memory effect is provided. The power amplifier includes a bias circuit which supplies a direct current (DC) power to a transistor; the transistor which amplifies the DC power provided from the bias circuit; a matching circuit which transfers maximum power to a load by reducing loss of the power amplified by the transistor; and a large capacitor which lies between the matching circuit and the transistor, reduces a low-frequency second harmonic voltage by electrically connecting directly to the matching circuit, and has a preset capacitance value.

An apparatus and method for power amplification in a wireless communication system are provided. The apparatus includes an envelope generator for generating an envelope signal from a Radio Frequency (RF) signal, a switching controller for generating a first switching control signal by delta-sigma modulating the envelope signal, and for generating a second switching control signal by amplifying an error signal obtained from a difference between an envelope signal restored by filtering the modulated envelope signal and an original envelope signal and an amplifier for outputting a first output signal by amplifying a phase signal according to the first switching control signal, for outputting a second output signal by amplifying the phase signal according to the second switching control signal, and for combining the first output signal and the second output signal. Thus, high efficiency and high linearity can be accomplished in the power amplification.
