A power amplifier circuit has an input node from which an input signal, which is a high-frequency signal, is inputted and an output node to which the input signal is amplified by a differential amplifier circuit to be outputted as an output signal. The power amplifier circuit includes a balun transformer (second balun transformer) including an input-side winding that has a substantially center to which a power-supply voltage is supplied and that is connected between differential outputs of the differential amplifier circuit, and an output-side winding that is coupled to the input-side winding via an electromagnetic field and that has one end connected to a reference potential; and a capacitive element (capacitor) provided between another end (node) of the output-side winding and the output node.

Power amplifier circuit

A radio-frequency module includes a mounting substrate having a first main surface; a first power amplifier that is mounted on the first main surface and that amplifies a first transmission signal in a first frequency band; a second power amplifier that is mounted on the first main surface and that amplifies a second transmission signal in a second frequency band different from the first frequency band; a first output matching circuit that is mounted on the first main surface and that receives the first transmission signal amplified by the first power amplifier; and a second output matching circuit that is mounted on the first main surface and that receives the second transmission signal amplified by the second power amplifier. The first output matching circuit and the second output matching circuit are mounted along a second direction intersecting with the first direction.
