Abstract
A power amplifier unit includes a power amplifier circuit that amplifies a radio-frequency input signal, a first impedance matching circuit that performs impedance matching for an output signal of the power amplifier circuit, a second-order harmonic termination circuit on an output side of the first impedance matching circuit and that reflects at least part of even-ordered and odd-ordered harmonics contained in a signal input from the first impedance matching circuit to output the at least part of the harmonics from an input terminal as a radio-frequency signal and outputs a radio-frequency signal containing a fundamental and the remainder of the harmonics from an output terminal, and a filter that is on a subsequent stage of the second-order harmonic termination circuit, that attenuates at least part of the even-ordered and odd-ordered harmonics, and that outputs a radio-frequency signal including the fundamental and the remainder of the even-ordered and odd-ordered harmonics.
