    Abstract: A communication unit includes the following elements. A first transmit circuit outputs a first signal or a second signal from a first input signal. A first amplifier amplifies the first signal and outputs a first amplified signal. A first signal generating circuit generates a third signal having a frequency higher than a frequency of the second signal, based on the second signal and a first reference signal. A first filter circuit receives the third signal and allows one of a frequency component representing a sum of the frequency of the second signal and a frequency of the first reference signal and a frequency component representing a difference therebetween to pass through the first filter circuit and attenuates the other one of the frequency components. A second amplifier amplifies the third signal output from the first filter circuit and outputs a second amplified signal.

    Abstract: A power amplifier circuit includes an amplifier transistor having a first terminal supplied with a power supply voltage that changes in accordance with an amplitude level of an input signal, and a second terminal supplied with the input signal and a bias current, an amplified signal obtained by amplifying the input signal being outputted from the first terminal, a bias circuit that outputs the bias current from an output terminal thereof in accordance with a reference current supplied to an input terminal thereof, and a regulation circuit that generates a regulation current for regulating the bias current in accordance with a change in the power supply voltage. The regulation current increases with an increase in the power supply voltage, and decreases with a decrease in the power supply voltage. The regulation circuit extracts the regulation current from at least one of the reference current or the bias current.
