摘要: The present invention provides a technology capable of achieving an improvement in the characteristic of a power amplifier when a power amplifier mounted onto mobile communication equipment such as a cellular phone is comprised of the balance amplifier. One feature of an embodiment resides in that each of passive parts disposed in a low-band signal negative path and each of passive parts disposed in a low-band signal positive path are placed in positions where they are symmetric with respect to a center line of a semiconductor chip. Thus, the symmetry between the low-band signal negative path and the low-band signal positive path is enhanced. As a result, a loss in matching due to the difference between the low-band signal negative path and the low-band signal positive path can be enough reduced, and the characteristic of a low-band signal balance amplifier can be enhanced.

摘要: To provide a bias circuit for gain control that can reduce gain variation at low-power output, facilitate setting of output power, and is unlikely to be affected by variation in element values and variations among products. Use in an HPA having three bias circuits serially-connected is assumed. Current of the third bias circuit is varied with a square-law characteristic. The square-law characteristic is amplified by a buffer amplifier including a linear amplifier and a peripheral circuit thereof. Output current of the third bias circuit varies depending on a current drivability coefficient of the diode-connected FET branched from the connection point between a constant current source and the linear amplifier. The output current of the third bias circuit is controlled by providing a circuit that draws a certain amount of current from the current flowing in the FET.

摘要: The RF power amplifier circuit including multiple amplification stages has a previous-stage amplifier, a next-stage amplifier and a controller. The previous-stage amplifier responds to an RF transmission input signal. The next-stage amplifier responds to an amplification signal output by the previous-stage amplifier. In response to an output-power-control voltage, the controller controls the former- and next-stage amplifiers in quiescent current and gain. In response to the output-power-control voltage, the quiescent current and gain of the previous-stage amplifier are continuously changed according to a first continuous function, whereas those of the next-stage amplifier are continuously changed according to a second continuous function. The second continuous function is higher than the first continuous function by at least one in degree. The RF power amplifier circuit brings about the effect that the drop of the power added efficiency in low and middle power modes is relieved.

摘要: A high-frequency power amplifier which can reduce a variation of power gain due to the dependence on gate length of a power amplification field effect transistor is provided. The high-frequency power amplifier comprises, over a semiconductor chip, a bias control circuit, a bias transistor and an amplification transistor which are coupled so as to configure a current mirror circuit, and a gate length monitor circuit comprising a replicating transistor. The amplification transistor amplifies an RF signal and a bias current of the bias control circuit is supplied to the bias transistor. The transistors are fabricated by the same semiconductor manufacturing process, and have the same variation of gate length. The gate length monitor circuit generates a detection voltage depending on the gate length. According to the detection voltage, the bias control circuit controls the bias current, thereby compensating the gate length dependence of transconductance of the amplification transistor.
