Abstract: A power amplifier circuit includes a first transistor, a capacitor, and a second transistor. The first transistor has an emitter electrically connected to a reference potential, a base, and a collector electrically connected to a first power supply potential. A first end of the capacitor is electrically connected to the collector of the first transistor. The second transistor has an emitter electrically connected to a second end of the capacitor and electrically connected to the reference potential, a base, and a collector electrically connected to the first power supply potential. An RF output signal obtained by amplifying the RF input signal is output from the collector of the second transistor. A second bias circuit includes a third transistor having a collector electrically connected to a second power supply potential, a base, and an emitter from which the second bias current or voltage is output.

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 a first amplifier that amplifies an input signal and outputs an output signal; a second amplifier that, in accordance with a control signal, amplifies a signal corresponding to the input signal, generates a signal having an opposite phase to that of the output signal, and adds the signal to the output signal; and a control circuit that supplies the control signal to the second amplifier. The control circuit outputs the control signal so that during operation of the power amplifier circuit in a first power mode, a gain of the second amplifier is not less than zero and less than a predetermined level and during operation in a second power mode lower than the first power mode in output power level, a gain of the second amplifier is not less than the predetermined level and less than a gain of the first amplifier.
