Abstract

Provided are an input matching circuit, at least one amplifying transistor that receives a signal from the input matching circuit, a first dummy transistor that receives a signal from the input matching circuit, a second dummy transistor that receives a signal from the input matching circuit, and an output matching circuit that outputs an output of the amplifying transistor, the amplifying transistor being arranged between the first dummy transistor and the second dummy transistor, the amplifying transistor, the first dummy transistor, and the second dummy transistor being provided in a row along the input matching circuit.
