    Abstract: A radio frequency circuit can transfer radio frequency signals used in first and second communication systems, and includes: a first transfer circuit that transfers a radio frequency signal having a frequency range in a first communication band having first transmission and receiving bands; and a second transfer circuit that transfers a radio frequency signal having a frequency range in a second communication band having second transmission and receiving bands. The radio frequency circuit can simultaneously transmit transmission signals having frequency ranges in the first and second communication bands using the first and second transfer circuits. The first receiving band is lower than the first transmission band, the first transmission band is lower than the second transmission band, and the second transmission band is lower than the second receiving band. The first and second transfer circuits are mounted on different mounting boards.

    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 power supply circuit supplies a variable voltage to a power amplifier that amplifies a radio-frequency signal, and includes a transistor and a current detecting resistor. The transistor includes a collector or drain that is supplied with a fixed voltage from a fixed voltage source, a base or gate that receives an envelope signal tracking an envelope of the radio-frequency signal, and an emitter or source that outputs the variable voltage that is based on the envelope signal. The current detecting resistor is electrically connected between the fixed voltage source and the collector or drain of the 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.
