    Abstract: A first transmission line transformer receives and outputs an unbalanced signal and performs impedance transformation. A second transmission line transformer performs unbalanced-to-balanced transformation. The first transmission line transformer includes a first main line and a first sub-line. The direction of the first main line is identical to the direction of the first sub-line. An end of the first sub-line is grounded. An end of the first main line is coupled to the unbalanced-signal input/output node. The second transmission line transformer includes a second main line and a second sub-line. The direction of the second main line is identical to a direction of the second sub-line. An end of the second main line and the second sub-line are grounded. An end of the second main line and the second sub-line are coupled to the balanced-signal input/output nodes.

    Abstract: An amplifier circuit amplifies a radio-frequency signal. The amplifier circuit includes an amplifier, an input matching circuit connected to an input side of the amplifier and matches impedance, and a protection circuit connected to a node in a path within a path between an input matching circuit and the amplifier. The protection circuit includes a first diode connected between the node and a ground, and a second diode connected in parallel with the first diode and connected in a direction opposite to the first diode between the node and the ground. A threshold voltage of each of the first diode and the second diode is greater than a maximum voltage amplitude of the input signal at the node and is less than a difference between a withstand voltage of the amplifier and the bias voltage.

    Abstract: A high-frequency circuit includes an amplifier, a power distributor disposed on an output route of the amplifier, a first by-pass route that bypasses the amplifier, a second by-pass route that bypasses the power distributor, a first switch and a second switch disposed in series on the first by-pass route, and a third switch disposed in series on the second by-pass route. The first by-pass route is connected to a first node on a route connecting a signal input terminal and the amplifier and a second node on a route connecting the amplifier and the power distributor. The second by-pass route is connected to a third node between the first switch and the second switch and a fourth node on an output route of the power distributor.
