Abstract

A power amplifier circuit includes a first amplifier that, in a region where an input signal level is a first level or higher, amplifies a signal split from an input signal and outputs an amplified signal; a first converter connected to an output side of the first amplifier and converts an impedance on the output side of the first amplifier; and at least one or more second amplifiers that, in a region where the input signal level is a second level or higher, amplify a signal split from the input signal and output an amplified signal. Output sides of the second amplifiers are connected in series with an output side of the first converter. The first converter makes an absolute value of the impedance on the output side of the first amplifier larger than absolute values of impedances on the output sides of the second amplifiers.
