Abstract: Two trap circuits different in frequencies at which short-circuit is established are provided in an output matching circuit. Out of the two trap circuits, the trap circuit higher in frequency at which short-circuit is established is arranged closer to a power amplification element. Thus, a frequency band higher than a frequency twice as high as a central frequency of a transmission frequency band is trapped, impedance of the output matching circuit with respect to the frequency in a frequency band twice as high as the transmission frequency band on the side of an output end of the power amplification element is kept in a state close to short-circuit, and the trap circuit lower in frequency at which short-circuit is established traps the frequency band lower than the frequency twice as high as the central frequency of the transmission frequency band.

Abstract: A cordless slave apparatus is connected to a host apparatus connected to lines via wireless communications. When the cordless slave apparatus is picked up from a charging apparatus to respond to a call from any of the lines, if the line at which the call has arrived has been selected by the cordless slave apparatus, the line is connected immediately and communications can start. If the line is not selected by the cordless slave apparatus, when a connection instruction from the user is provided, the line is connected and communications can start. When calls have arrived from lines simultaneously, communications can start by capturing a line according to a connection instruction. When a call from another line has arrived during communications, the lines are switched according to a switching instruction from the user and the line through which the communications have been performed is automatically turned to be on hold.

The mounting portion is formed at one end of a lead portion of the lead frame. The light-emitting diode chip and the mounting portion are embedded in a convex shape lens made of a resin.
