High frequency amplifier
A high frequency amplifier includes a package substrate, an amplifying active device disposed on a top surface of the package substrate, a transmission line connected to the amplifying active device and transmitting a high frequency signal, a surface mounted device (SMD) component shunt-connected at a first end to the transmission line, a SMD component terminal connected to a second end of the SMD component and partially exposed at a back surface of the package substrate, and an external terminal partially exposed at the back surface of the package substrate and connected to a first end of the transmission line, opposite a second end of the transmission line that is connected to the amplifying active device.
1. A high frequency amplifier comprising:
a package substrate;
an amplifying active device disposed on a top surface of said package substrate;
a transmission line connected to said amplifying active device and transmitting a high frequency signal;
a surface mounted device (SMD) component shunt-connected at a first end of said SMD component to said transmission line;
a SMD component terminal connected to a second end of said SMD component and partially exposed at a back surface of said package substrate; and
an external terminal partially exposed at said back surface of said package substrate and connected to a first end of said transmission line, opposite a second end of said transmission line that is connected to said amplifying active device.
2. The high frequency amplifier according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of said SMD components and a plurality of said SMD component terminals, equal in number to said SMD components, wherein each of said SMD components is connected to or associated with a different one of said SMD component terminals.
3. The high frequency amplifier according to claim 1 , wherein said SMD component terminal and said external terminal are disposed adjacent each other.
