    Abstract: A RF front-end circuit connected to an antenna module includes a plurality of main transmission circuits, an assistant transmission circuit, a signal coupling circuit, and a switching module. Each of the main transmission circuits amplifies original signals as first amplified signals which include non-linear distortion. The assistant transmission circuit assists at least one of the main transmission circuits to reduce non-linear distortion. The signal coupling circuit coupled to the at least one main transmission circuit samples the first amplified signals from the main transmission circuit to obtain sampling signals. The assistant transmission circuit calculates the non-linear distortion of the main transmission circuit according to the sampling signals and the original signals, and generates compensation signals accordingly. The signal coupling circuit feeds back the compensation signals to the main transmission circuit to decrease non-linear distortion in the first amplified signals.

    Abstract: In a high frequency power amplifier reduction of current consumption at the time of power down and an improvement in distortion of linearly modulated wave at the time of generation of its maximum output are automatically effected at the same time. Part of the high frequency output of a pre-stage amplifier is derived by a directional coupler inserted in the input part of a post-stage amplifier to be superposed through a DC voltage generator circuit on a gate bias voltage applied to the gate terminal of an FET in the post-stage amplifier, so that the gate bias voltage can be automatically controlled to its optimum value according to the output level required for the power amplifier.
