1. A radio-frequency module comprising:
a mounting substrate having a main surface;
a first power amplifier that is mounted on the main surface of the mounting substrate and is configured to amplify a first transmit signal; and
a second power amplifier that is mounted on the main surface of the mounting substrate and is configured to amplify a second transmit signal,
the first power amplifier including
a first outer periphery which includes a first edge section, and
a first input terminal into which the first transmit signal is input,
the second power amplifier including
a second outer periphery which includes a second edge section, the second edge section opposing the first edge section in a first direction, and
a second input terminal into which the second transmit signal is input,
wherein the first input terminal of the first power amplifier and the second input terminal of the second power amplifier are disposed in one of a first manner and a second manner,
in the first manner, the first input terminal is disposed in the first edge section of the first power amplifier and the second input terminal is disposed in the second edge section of the second power amplifier, and the first input terminal and the second input terminal do not overlap each other in the first direction, and
in the second manner, the first input terminal is disposed in a portion of the first outer periphery of the first power amplifier other than in the first edge section, and the second input terminal is disposed in a portion of the second outer periphery of the second power amplifier other than in the second edge section.
