A variable gain amplifier has a first amplifier circuit (106) having a first field-effect transistor and amplifying a signal input to a gate of the first field-effect transistor to output; a gate bias control circuit (102) controlling a gate bias of the first amplifier circuit to control a gain of the first amplifier circuit; and a variable matching circuit (103) controlling a capacitor connected to the gate of the first amplifier circuit to control the gain of the first amplifier circuit.
