Provided is a multiband wireless apparatus that, even if the number of supported frequency bands increases, suppresses increase in the number of components, and completes cell search within a specified time. In a multiband wireless apparatus (1), a reception channel to which a current reception channel is going to be next switched is set in advance for one of a tunable duplexer (13) and a reception dedicated tunable filter (14) that is not connected to an antenna. An antenna switch (15), in a normal transmission/reception mode, connects the antenna to the tunable duplexer (13), and in a compressed mode, switches the connection of the antenna between the tunable duplexer (13) and the reception dedicated tunable filter (14).
