Abstract: In a high-frequency module, a phase and amplitude of a high-frequency signal from a connection conductor between filter devices change due to the signal being transmitted by a takeout circuit unit. When the high-frequency signal at a third external connection terminal is a suppression signal and a high-frequency signal passing through the first filter circuit is a suppression-target signal, the transmission distance in the takeout circuit unit is such that the phase of the suppression signal is approximately inverted with respect to the phase of the suppression-target signal and the suppression signal has approximately the same amplitude as the suppression-target signal. The suppression signal is mixed with the suppression-target signal and components outside of the pass band are cancelled out and the attenuation characteristics of the filter circuit are enhanced.
