We propose and describe the fabrication of a linear power amplifier (LPA) using a new analog feedforward method for the IMT‐2000 frequency band (2,110–2,170 MHz). The proposed analog feedforward circuit, which operates without a pilot tone or a microprocessor, is a small and simple structure. When the output power of the fabricated LPA is about 44 dBm for a two‐tone input signal in the IMT‐2000 frequency band, the magnitude of the intermodulation signals is below −60 dBc and the power efficiency is about 7%. In comparison to the fabricated main amplifier, the magnitude of the third intermodulation signal decreases over 24 dB in the IMT‐2000 frequency band.
