Abstract

A power amplifier circuit includes a substrate and a semiconductor chip disposed on or above the substrate. The semiconductor chip includes a power amplifier unit that amplifies an RF signal, a ground terminal to which a ground of the power amplifier unit is coupled, and a first circuit element having a first end electrically coupled to the ground terminal without any portion outside the semiconductor chip interposed therebetween, and having a second end. The substrate includes a second circuit element having a first end electrically coupled to an output of the power amplifier unit and a second end electrically coupled to the second end of the first circuit element. The first and second circuit elements constitute a harmonic wave termination circuit. The harmonic wave termination circuit reflects, to the power amplifier unit, a harmonic wave component of the amplified RF signal output from the power amplifier unit.
