  • Publication number: 20240275424
    Abstract: A radio frequency circuit includes a power amplifier, which supports Power class 2, a first filter, which is connected to the power amplifier, which supports Power class 3, and which has a passband including the uplink operating band of Band A for FDD, a second filter, which is connected to the power amplifier, which supports Power class 3, and which has a passband including the uplink operating band of Band A, and a third filter, which is connected to the power amplifier, which supports Power class 2, and which has a passband including Band B for TDD. When a transmit signal in Band A, which supports Power class 2, from the power amplifier is to be output, a transmit signal in Band A is split for output to the first filter and the second filter. When a transmit signal in Band B, which supports Power class 2, is to be output, a transmit signal in Band B is output from the power amplifier to the third filter.

  • Patent number: 10964657
    Abstract: A radio-frequency module includes: a transmission power amplifier that includes first and second amplification transistors that are cascade connected to each other; and a mounting substrate that has first and second main surface that face each other, the transmission power amplifier being mounted on the first main surface. The first amplification transistor is arranged in a final stage and has a first emitter terminal. The second amplification transistor is arranged in a stage preceding the first amplification transistor and has a second emitter terminal. The mounting substrate has first to fourth ground electrode layers in order of proximity to the first main surface. The first emitter terminal and the second emitter terminal are not electrically connected to each other via an electrode on the first main surface and are not electrically connected to each other via the first ground electrode layer.
