Abstract
A high-frequency power amplifier that amplifies a high-frequency input signal and outputs a signal having one power selected from a plurality of powers includes a high output route that is a circuit, which amplifies the input signal and outputs a signal of a high power, and a medium output route that is a circuit, which amplifies the input signal and outputs a signal of a medium power. The high output route includes a high-output amplifier that amplifies the input signal, an output matching circuit that is connected to an output node of the high-output amplifier, and a switch element that is connected to an output node of the output matching circuit. The medium output route includes a medium-output amplifier that amplifies the input signal and a switch element that is connected between an output node of the medium-output amplifier and an output node of the output matching circuit.
