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.

Abstract: A transmission circuit includes a transmission signal generation unit, a control unit, and a transmission signal amplification unit. The transmission signal generation unit generates a transmission signal that has been modulated. The transmission signal amplification unit includes a power amplifier that amplifies the transmission signal. The control unit determines a supply voltage signal having an amplitude characteristic of a period identical to that of an envelope of the transmission signal and supplies the supply voltage signal to the power amplifier. The control unit determines an output timing of the supply voltage signal such that a phase difference between a phase of the envelope of the transmission signal and a phase of the supply voltage signal does not become zero.
