Abstract:
A power amplifier circuit includes a first transistor that amplifies a first signal and outputs a second signal; a second transistor that amplifies the second signal and outputs a third signal; a bias circuit that supplies a bias current to a base of the second transistor; and a bias adjustment circuit that adjusts the bias current to be supplied by the bias circuit by subjecting the first signal to detection. The bias adjustment circuit controls the bias current to be supplied to the base of the second transistor by drawing, from the bias circuit, a current of a magnitude corresponding to a magnitude of the first signal. The current increases as the magnitude of the first signal increases.
