Abstract
A high frequency power amplifier with reduced power loss and improved power amplification efficiency has an output matching circuit providing an open circuit to a second harmonic and a short circuit to a third harmonic of a high frequency signal. This is accomplished by, for example, adjusting lengths of a drain bias line and a plurality of signal lines so that the phase of S parameter S11 (input reflection coefficient) to the second harmonic is from −80° to 140°, and the phase of S parameter S11 to the third harmonic is from 160° to 220°. The line length of each line in an input matching circuit is also adjusted so that the phase of S parameter S22 (output reflection coefficient) at the fundamental frequency is between +5° to −75°.
