Abstract: A radio frequency module includes a carrier amplifier and a peak amplifier. A 90° hybrid circuit is connected to an input end of the carrier amplifier and an input end of the peak amplifier. A coupler is connected to an output end of the carrier amplifier and an output end of the peak amplifier. A control circuit varies a threshold value of a bias voltage of the peak amplifier based on a radio frequency signal input to the 90° hybrid circuit or the carrier amplifier, and a signal indicating a drive level of the carrier amplifier, in which the carrier amplifier and the peak amplifier are included in an integrated circuit. The control circuit is included in an integrated circuit, and the integrated circuit is disposed adjacent to the integrated circuit on a peak amplifier side.

Abstract: A Doherty amplifier circuit includes a first integrated circuit and a second integrated circuit connected to the first integrated circuit. One of the first integrated circuit and the second integrated circuit includes a carrier amplifier that amplifies a radio-frequency signal, a peak amplifier that amplifies the radio-frequency signal, a variable gain control circuit that controls a gain of the radio-frequency signal based on a drive level signal that indicates a drive level of the carrier amplifier, and a bias circuit that inputs a bias based on an output from the variable gain control circuit to the peak amplifier. The first integrated circuit on a silicon die includes at least the variable gain control circuit.
