Patent attributes
A front-end circuit includes a power amplifier circuit configured to amplify power of multiple transmission waves having different frequency bands, a transmission filter provided between the power amplifier circuit and an antenna and configured to pass a predetermined transmission frequency band of an output signal of the power amplifier circuit, a switch provided between the power amplifier circuit and the antenna, and a matching circuit. In accordance with switching of whether the matching circuit is connected, an insertion loss in a frequency band of an intermodulation distortion within a communication band in an intra-band carrier aggregation mode is increased as compared to an insertion loss in a frequency band of an intermodulation distortion within the communication band in a single mode.
