    摘要: A microwave power amplifier having n stages (n is an integer of at least two), which uses bipolar transistors as amplifying elements. Grounded electrodes, bias applying methods, and bias values of the bipolar transistors of the respective stages are set so that phase rotations of output powers of bipolar transistors of m stages (m is an integer of 1.ltoreq.m.ltoreq.n-1) among the n stages are canceled by phase rotation of at least one of the other bipolar transistors of the (n-m) stages. Therefore, the total phase rotation of the power amplifier can be neutralized, resulting in a microwave power amplifier having excellent distortion characteristics.

    摘要: An optoelectronic integrated circuit includes a light responsive element for converting an optical signal into an electrical signal and an electronic circuit for processing the electrical signal. The light responsive element is disposed on a first surface of a substrate and includes p side electrodes and n side electrodes alternatingly arranged parallel to each other. The electronic circuit is disposed on a second surface of the substrate. The light responsive element is electrically connected to the electronic circuit by a via hole penetrating the substrate. In this structure, light incident on the first surface is almost completely absorbed by the substrate and hardly reaches the electronic circuit on the second surface. Therefore, variations in operation of the electronic circuit, such as an increase in drain current, are reduced. In addition, since the degree of freedom in arranging these elements on both surfaces of the substrate is increased, high-density integration is achieved, resulting in a small-sized IC chip.

    摘要: Provided is a high frequency amplifier including two amplifying elements of different element sizes connected in parallel and switching the amplifying elements in accordance with a level of output power. In particular, the high frequency amplifier includes an output matching circuit for matching to characteristic impedance (50 ohms) both when the output power is high and low, and increasing impedance when the turned-off amplifying element is viewed from a connection node on an output side of the two amplifying elements. Consequently, characteristics such as high output power and high efficiency can be achieved and it is possible to prevent an amplified high frequency signal from passing around to a matching circuit on a turned-off amplifying element side.
