- the switch module 1c of this embodiment is different from the switch module 1 of the first embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 as shown in FIG.
- One end of the switch 7b and one end of the second switch 7b connected to the individual terminal TRx3 are independent, and one end of the second switch 7b connected to the individual terminal TRx2 and the common terminal ANT are separate terminals.
- the other structure is the same as 1st Embodiment, description is abbreviate
- the second switch 7b connected to the individual terminal TRx2 independent, one end of the second switch 7b and the common terminal ANT can be connected without going through the low-pass filter LPF3.
- another low pass filter may be provided on the connection wiring electrode 8a to attenuate the harmonics of the Band5 communication signal transmitted to the signal path SL6.
- the low-pass filter LPF3 on the connection wiring electrode 8a side, the Band5 communication signal transmitted to the signal path SL6 and the Band13 communication signal transmitted to the signal path SL7 can be interchanged. Therefore, since this switch IC 3a can be used to cope with changes in the wiring structure of various wiring boards 2, it is not necessary to redesign the switch IC 3a in accordance with the design change of the switch module 1c, and the switch module 1c Manufacturing costs can be reduced.
