A small, high performance, multifunctional high frequency circuit that is multiband and multimode compatible reduces loss from a switch formed on the output side of a final stage amplification unit. The final stage amplification unit power amplifies an input signal and outputs an amplified signal. A first matching circuit impedance converts the amplified signal input thereto at a first input impedance, and outputs a first impedance-converted signal at a first output impedance. A control unit that generates a control signal denoting signal path selection information. A switch unit selects one of at least two signal paths based on the control signal, passes the first impedance-converted signal at an on impedance through the selected path, and outputs the pass signal. A second matching circuit impedance converts a pass signal input thereto at a second input impedance, and outputs a second impedance-converted signal at a second output.
