Abstract: Provided is a high frequency module capable of reducing the IMD. During the transmission/reception operation based on W-CDMA, control signals VSWCC, VTRXCC are output as Hi signals from a control logic. Consequently, transistor T1 is turned ON, and transistors T2, T3 are respectively turned OFF. When the transistor T1 is turned ON, the voltage output from an operational amplifier is output as the signal VVSW to a control terminal, and the control signal VTRXC is output as a Hi signal. The signal VVSW is of a voltage level that is lower than that of the control signal VTRXC. The control signal VTRXC is a signal for turning ON a transistor circuit Q1, and the signal VVSW is a signal for supplying a DC voltage to the antenna potential. It is thereby possible to reduce the ON resistance of the transistor circuit Q1 and improve the IMD characteristics.
