Radio-frequency amplifier, radio-frequency module and communication device

Abstract

A radio-frequency amplifier comprises slot lines formed in a top electrode which are bent to define matching segments that are perpendicular to transmitting segments. The matching segments have a length corresponding to one-quarter of the wavelength of a signal to be amplified and are at least partially perpendicular to the transmitting segments. A DC-cut circuit comprising slot lines is connected to the matching segments, an FET is connected to the transmitting segments and the matching segments, and respective matching circuits serve as an input unit and an output unit of the FET. Source terminals of the FET are connected to parts of a top electrode that do not lie between the segments. A drain terminal and a gate terminal are connected, to be electrically separated from each other, to parts of the top electrode, which are electrically separated from the source terminals by the DC-cut circuit, the transmitting segments, and the matching segments.
