Abstract
A radio-frequency amplifier circuit includes first and second FETs cascode-connected to each other. The gate of the first FET is connected to a radio-frequency input terminal, and the drain of the second FET is connected to a radio-frequency output terminal. The source of the first FET is connected to a ground, and the drain of the first FET and the source of the second FET are connected to each other. A drive voltage is applied to the drain of the second FET. A bias setting unit is connected to the gate of the second FET. The bias setting unit sets a second control voltage to be applied to the second FET so that a node voltage between the drain of the first FET and the source of the second FET will be substantially half of the drive voltage.
