Abstract

A variable gain amplifier includes a first transistor group which is connected to an input terminal and an output terminal, and which amplifies a signal from the input terminal to output the amplified signal to the output terminal; a second transistor group connected to the input terminal; a third transistor group connected to the output terminal; and a controller configured to control the first transistor group, the second transistor group, and the third transistor group so that a total number of the number of transistors to be turned on in the first transistor group and the second transistor group is kept at a constant value, and total numbers of transistors to be turned on in the first transistor group and in the third transistor group are the same.
