High frequency amplifier and frequency mixer

Abstract

A high frequency amplifier in which a common emitter bipolar transistor is used, and in that a constant current source and a constant voltage source are switched to apply a DC bias to a base terminal of the bipolar transistor in accordance with a power level of a high frequency signal input to the bipolar transistor or a power level of a high frequency signal output therefrom, and a frequency mixer in that a DC bias is applied to a base of at least one of a bipolar transistor for the input of a high frequency signal and a bipolar transistor for the input of a local oscillation wave by using a configuration for applying the DC bias to a base of an amplifying bipolar transistor employed in the high frequency amplifier.
