- the band switch 20B includes a common terminal PC20 and selected terminals PS21 and PS22. That is, the band switch 20B has a configuration in which the selected terminal PS23 is omitted from the band switch 20.
- the band switch 20B can be formed smaller than the band switch 20. Thereby, the high-frequency front end circuit 10B can be further reduced in size.
- a matching circuit is provided between the duplexer 32 and the main switch 40 as necessary.
- the duplexer 32, and the second communication band matching circuit connected between the duplexer 32 and the main switch 40 are preferably arranged apart from each other. Thereby, transmission of a leak signal due to coupling between matching circuits can be suppressed.
