    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 power amplification module includes: a first transistor that amplifies a first radio frequency signal and outputs a second radio frequency signal; a second transistor that amplifies the second radio frequency signal and outputs a third radio frequency signal; and first and second bias circuits that supply first and second bias currents to bases of the first and second transistors. The first bias circuit includes a third transistor that outputs the first bias current from its emitter or source, a capacitor that is input with the first radio frequency signal and connected to the base of the first transistor, a first resistor connected between the emitter or source of the third transistor and the base of the first transistor, a second resistor connected between the capacitor and the emitter or source of the third transistor, and a third resistor connected between the capacitor and the base of the first transistor.

    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.
