Abstract: A power amplifier circuit includes a first amplifier transistor, a first nonlinear element, and a current control circuit. The first amplifier transistor has a base or a gate into which a first signal is input, a collector or a drain from which a signal resulting from amplification of the first signal is output, and an emitter or a source that is grounded. The first nonlinear element is connected between the collector or the drain of the first amplifier transistor and the base or the gate of the first amplifier transistor. The current control circuit is connected between the ground and the base or the gate of the first amplifier transistor and controls current flowing through the first nonlinear element.

Abstract: An impedance detection circuit includes: a first detector that detects a first voltage amplitude at an end of an inverter circuit having the end to which a radio frequency signal is input and having a different end from which a signal is output; a second detector that detects a second voltage amplitude of the different end of the inverter circuit; and a phase difference detector that detects a phase difference between a phase of a voltage across the end of the inverter circuit and a phase of a voltage across the different end of the inverter circuit. An absolute value of a product of diagonal elements of a dependent parameter for the inverter circuit is smaller than an absolute value of a product of off-diagonal elements.

Abstract: A Doherty amplifier circuit includes a carrier amplifier including one or more amplifiers, and a peaking amplifier including one or more amplifiers. At least one of the amplifiers includes a first transistor and a current draw circuit. The first transistor receives, at its base or gate, a first radio frequency signal, and outputs, from its emitter or source, a second radio frequency signal obtained by amplifying the first radio frequency signal. The current draw circuit draws, from the emitter or source of the first transistor, a current based on a control signal.

Abstract: A Doherty amplifier circuit includes a carrier amplifier including one or more amplifiers, and a peaking amplifier including one or more amplifiers. At least one of the amplifiers includes a transistor and a feedback circuit. The transistor receives, at its base or gate, a radio frequency signal and a bias voltage or current which changes, and outputs an amplified radio frequency signal from its collector or drain. The feedback circuit provides, to the base or gate or the emitter or source of the transistor, a voltage or a current based on the amplified radio frequency signal.

Abstract: A power amplifier module includes a first amplifier, a power splitter, a second amplifier, a third amplifier, a phase shifter, a combining unit, and a controller. The first amplifier amplifies a first signal and outputs a second signal. The power splitter splits the second signal into a third signal and a fourth signal. The second amplifier amplifies the third signal and outputs a fifth signal. The third amplifier amplifies the fourth signal and outputs a sixth signal. The phase shifter receives the fifth signal and shifts a phase of the fifth signal. The combining unit combines the fifth signal having the phase shifted by the phase shifter and the sixth signal and outputs an amplified signal of the second signal. The controller outputs a first control signal for controlling a power level of the sixth signal output from the third amplifier.
