Abstract: A frontend circuit includes a wide-band filter, a transmit filter, and switches. The wide-band filter passes both the receive frequency band of a first communication frequency band and that of a second communication frequency band which is close to or overlaps that of the first communication frequency band. The transmit filter passes the transmit frequency band of the first or second communication frequency band. The switches are capable of simultaneously bringing, into conduction, at least two of multiple filters including the wide-band filter and the transmit filter. In carrier aggregation using the receive frequency bands of the first and second communication frequency bands, the switches simultaneously bring the wide-band filter and the transmit filter into conduction. Thus, in carrier aggregation using signals of multiple communication frequencies simultaneously in communication, attenuation of signals due to signal leakage in two receive frequency bands, which are close to each other, is suppressed.
