  • Patent number: 7629851
    Abstract: In a high frequency power amplifier circuit that supplies a bias to an amplifying FET by a current mirror method, scattering of a threshold voltage Vth due to the scattering of the channel impurity concentration of the FET, and a shift of a bias point caused by the scattering of the threshold voltage Vth and a channel length modulation coefficient ? due to a short channel effect are corrected automatically. The scattering of a high frequency power amplifying characteristic can be reduced as a result.

  • Patent number: 7501896
    Abstract: A high frequency power amplifier electronic component (RF power module) is so constituted as to apply bias to an amplifier FET in current mirror configuration. In this RF power module, deviation of a bias point due to the short channel effect of the FET is corrected, and variation in high frequency power amplifier characteristics is reduced. The high frequency power amplifier circuit (RF power module) is so constituted that the bias voltage for the amplifier transistor in a high frequency power amplifier circuit is supplied from a bias transistor connected with the amplifier transistor in current mirror configuration. In addition to a pad (external terminal) connected with the control terminal of the amplifier transistor, a second pad is provided which is connected with the control terminal of the bias transistor connected with the amplifier transistor in current mirror configuration.

  • Patent number: 7486142
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to compensate electric properties of an RF power module depending on changes with time, temperature dependency, variations, and the like of grounded emitter current amplification factor of an HBT. A compound semiconductor integrated circuit supplies reference current of a reference HBT depending on hFE of an HBT to an input terminal of a first current mirror of a bias circuit of a silicon semiconductor integrated circuit. The base of an output HBT of the compound semiconductor integrated circuit is biased with bias current which increases in response to decrease in hFE of the HBT from an output of the first current mirror of the silicon semiconductor integrated circuit.
