An antenna switching circuit and communication system capable of reducing a high-order harmonic component radiated from the antenna used for transmission and reception. A fundamental wave passes through a signal transmission line between an antenna switch and a transmitting circuit, a filter circuit is connected for reflecting the high-order harmonic component, the high-order harmonic component generated due to linear distortion of the antenna switch is propagated toward the antenna and the transmitting circuit, the high-order harmonic component is reflected at a node of the filter circuit, and the reflected signal is propagated toward the antenna through the antenna switch. By suitably controlling a reflection characteristic of the filter circuit and a line of the signal transmission line, the high-order harmonic components on the transmission line are cancelled out and the high-order harmonic component from the antenna can be decreased.
