Abstract
A semiconductor amplifying apparatus and a communication terminal apparatus to satisfy a standard value for adjacent channel power and amplify the power at a high efficiency. The value of an impedance viewed from an input terminal side of an impedance circuit network connected to an input terminal of a transistor is set at a value which causes a characteristic curve for a mutual modulation distortion component included in output power of the transistor to form, in the middle thereof, a curve section in which an inclination angle of a tangential line to this characteristic curve once becomes smaller, or a curve section which protrudes downwardly.
