Abstract: To achieve miniaturization. A matching circuit is connected to a connection terminal that is one of an input terminal and an output terminal of an amplifier. A mounting substrate has a ground layer. The matching circuit includes a main line, a sub-line, and an IC chip.

The sub-line is opposed to the main line in the thickness direction of the mounting substrate. The IC chip is disposed on the mounting substrate, and includes an adjustment unit that adjusts impedance conversion characteristics of the matching circuit.

Abstract: A voltage-controlled oscillator has a frequency of oscillation that is varied using a substrate on which the same circuit pattern as that of the voltage-controlled oscillator is printed. In a resonant circuit included in the voltage-controlled oscillator, a first land is arranged substantially parallel to an inductor. A second land is arranged substantially parallel to the inductor and to a variable-capacitance diode. The capacitances of capacitors attached to the first land and second land are changed in order to vary the frequency of oscillation of the voltage-controlled oscillator. The frequency of oscillation can be varied without the necessity of scraping the inductor through which a major signal passes. Therefore, electrical characteristics of the voltage-controlled oscillator are not degraded and the frequency of oscillation is very steady. The frequency of oscillation can be varied merely by changing the capacitances of the capacitors attached to the first and second lands.
