  • Patent number: 10128796
    Abstract: A PA module (10) includes multiple amplifying elements (11a, 11b) and a variable filter circuit (12). The amplifying elements (11a, 11b) amplify a transmission signal in a frequency range including multiple communication bands and are cascade-connected to each other. The variable filter circuit (12) is connected between the amplifying elements (11a, 11b). The variable filter circuit (12) uses a transmission band corresponding to a used communication band selected from the multiple communication bands as a pass band and a reception band corresponding to the used communication band as an attenuation band.
