Abstract
A small, high performance high frequency power amplifier enables easily adjusting and switching the impedance. The high frequency power amplifier module includes a first semiconductor chip including one or a plurality of high frequency amplification devices, and a second semiconductor chip including one or more high frequency matching circuit devices and one or more switching devices. The second semiconductor chip includes the matching circuit for a high frequency amplifier device. The second semiconductor chip also includes a circuit composed of a capacitance and a switching device connected in series or parallel to the capacitance. The switching device switches on or off so that the capacitance is connected or is not connected as a part of the matching circuit.
