Abstract

A radio-frequency integrated circuit has a transmission line which is short-circuited at an RF short-circuiting point to ground through an RF short-circuiting and DC blocking capacitor. The transmission line is connected to a bias supply point. The circuit has a matching circuit constituted by the transmission line and has a short-circuit stub and an adjusting capacitor. The short-circuit stub has first bonding points to which the bias voltage is applied and the adjusting capacitor has second bonding points which are selectively wire-bonded with the first bonding points. By selecting the positions at which the bonding points are interconnected, the impedance of the matching circuit can be adjusted.
