Low distortion amplifier and Doherty amplifier using low distortion amplifier

Abstract

Provided is a low distortion amplifier which can satisfy both securement of a setting space in a vicinity of a transistor and low impedance. The low distortion amplifier includes a short stub having a leading end thereof short-circuited with a high-frequency short-circuit element and a low-frequency short-circuit element, in which the short stub is connected to a vicinity of at least one of a gate terminal and a drain terminal of the transistor, and includes a plurality of branched lines, the plurality of branched lines each having a leading end thereof short-circuited with the high-frequency short-circuit element and the low-frequency short-circuit element.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
