The invention relates to a high-frequency amplifier of a radio transmitter, comprising an amplifier stage the gain of which can be automatically controlled by a gain control feedback (L15, L16, D10, D11, A1, A2) coupled from a subsequent amplifier stage or the out-put of the high-frequency amplifier. The power consumption of the gain control is reduced, and the frequency stability of the amplifier stages and the preceding voltage-controlled oscillator is improved by the high-frequency amplifier according to the invention, wherein the amplifier stage comprises a two-gate field-effect transistor (Q1), the first gate (G1) of which constitutes the signal input, and the second gate (G2) of which constitutes the gain control input, to which said feedback (L15, L16, D10, D11, A1, A2) is coupled, and wherein the operating point of the transistor (Q1) is set by biasing the first gate (G1).
A radio transmitter including antenna means for transmitting a radio signal and amplifier means coupled to receive an input signal from a voltage oscillator means for generating an output to said antenna means, said amplifier means comprising:
