Abstract

An input matching circuit is provided having the output impedance-frequency characteristics wherein the output impedance shows a value approximately equal to that of the gate input impedance of the FET at the frequency of the objective signal to be amplified, and the output impedance shows a value not more than twice the gate input impedance of the FET at least at the entire frequencies from the frequency of the objective signal to be amplified through twice the frequency of the objective signal to be amplified so that the matching between the input previous stage circuit and the gate of the FET can be secured. Thereby, a high-frequency power amplifier circuit and a high-frequency power amplifier module, which can suppress the occurrence of distortion, perform stably, and get miniaturized, are configured.
