Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, in the above-mentioned conventional push-pull type high-power amplifier, since most of the circuit components are formed on the PVB substrate 1, there are problems of increased device size and weight, and increased cost.
In addition, since the chip components and the like are mounted on the wiring with solder, there is a problem that the alignment error is large and the dispersion of high-frequency characteristics (RF characteristics) increases.
Especially in the matching circuit section composed of the choke coil L and the capacitor C at the part from the balun to the package leads, when the position of the chip capacitance section 9 (capacitor C) deviates, equivalently When the value of the choke coil L changes, the matching will deviate. As a result, there is a problem that the characteristics of the high-power amplifier will deviate greatly.

Abstract

A semiconductor chip for amplification is connected between input-side and output-side matching circuits, and each of matching circuits includes balanced circuits which receive signals different in phase by 180 degrees, divided from an input signal. The balanced circuits are connected at a virtual grounding point, which is used as a grounding point sensitive to RF characteristics in an IPD. Thus, a semiconductor device can be free from influence of variations of grounding wires and can be reduced in size, weight, and cost.
