摘要:
In a power amplifier a Doherty amplifier is provided with an output higher harmonic reflection circuit that is connected to the output terminal of a first FET chip and sets an even-numbered higher harmonic load of an output signal at the output terminal to be a short-circuit, or at a low impedance approximating a short-circuit, and sets an odd-numbered higher harmonic load of an output signal at the output terminal to be an open-circuit, or a high impedance approximating an open-circuit.

A high power semiconductor device including gate electrodes also includes an active region of an approximately rectangular shape, located on a semiconductor substrate; a drain electrode located on the active region; and first and second source electrodes which are disposed on opposite sides to the drain electrode so that the first and second source electrodes face each other across at least some of the gate electrodes. The directions of currents carried by the first and second source electrodes are opposite to each other.

A high frequency power amplifier comprises: a multi-finger transistor with transistor cells electrically connected in parallel; an input side matching circuit connected to gate electrodes of the transistor cells; and resonant circuits respectively connected between the gate electrode of a transistor cell and the input side matching circuit. The resonant circuit resonates at a second harmonic of the operating frequency of the transistor or within a predetermined range of frequencies having a center at the second harmonic of the operating frequency, and becomes a high-impedance load at the second harmonic, or an open load.

At least one of wiring areas divided by substrate dividing slits includes a region on which none of the strip conductors is located, the region having a U-shape as viewed in plan and enclosing one of the strip conductors on three sides. The length of the enclosed strip conductor is set such that, at a harmonic of a fundamental frequency, the strip line, including the enclosed strip conductor, exhibits very low impedance and acts as a short circuit. The length of the enclosed strip conductor may be set substantially equal to 1/(4n) times the wavelength corresponding to a fundamental frequency, to short circuit the nth harmonic, where n is an integer. Both ends of the U-shaped region are preferably disposed on the side of the surface of the matching circuit substrate closest to a transistor.

A high-frequency power amplifier has an FET element having a unit FETs in multifinger form, and having a gate pad through which a signal is input, a source pad that is grounded, and a drain pad through which a signal is output. A high-frequency processing circuit includes series resonance circuits shunt-connected between the gate pads of the unit FETs and grounding ends. Two of the series resonance circuits have respective different resonance frequencies which correspond to second and higher harmonics of a frequency included in the operating frequency band of the FET element.

A high frequency power amplifier includes: a multi-finger transistor including transistor cells electrically connected in parallel; an input side matching circuit connected to gate electrodes of the transistor cells; and resonant circuits, each resonant circuit being connected between a gate electrode of a respective one of the transistor cells and the input side matching circuit. The resonant circuits resonate at a second harmonic of the operational frequency of the transistor or at a frequency within a predetermined range centered at the second harmonic and act as a short circuit or exhibit low impedance as seen from the gate electrode.
