A small-sized, front-end module is offered which is for use in a wireless
communication device such as a mobile phone and which can suppress
harmonics to a sufficiently low level. The front-end module has at least
a switching circuit for switching one antenna between a transmiting
system and a receiving system, a power amplifier for power-amplifying a
transmission signal, and a low-pass filter inserted between the switching
circuit and power amplifier. These components are integrated. A first
kind of harmonics is produced from the switching circuit toward the power
amplifier and reflected by the low-pass filter. A second kind of
harmonics is produced from the power amplifier toward the antenna. A
third kind of harmonics is produced from the switching circuit toward the
antenna. The third kind of harmonics is canceled by the reflected first
kind of harmonics and the second kind of harmonics.
