A laminated electronic component includes a laminated block in which a plurality of electrically insulating layers are laminated. An external conductor film is disposed on a surface of the laminated block. An additional conductor film which is at the same potential as the external conductor film is arranged such that it faces the external conductor film with an insulating layer disposed therebetween. The additional conductor film and the external conductor film are electrically connected to each other through a via-hole conductor so that they are at the same potential.

A transmitting circuit is connected to an antenna via a first diode. The antenna is connected to a receiving circuit with the circuit including a strip line and a second diode. Two diodes are turned ON by applying a positive voltage to a first control terminal. In this state, a signal from the transmitting circuit is transmitted from the antenna. The transmission signal is not transferred to the receiving circuit side due to a series resonance circuit with the inductance of the second diode and a capacitor. When the high-frequency switch is used for reception, a positive voltage is applied to a second control terminal. The voltage is divided by a resistors respectively connected to the diodes in parallel, and applied to the diodes as a backward voltage. And hence, the diodes are surely maintained in the OFF state. The isolation between the transmitting circuit and the antenna is improved by a parallel resonance circuit with the capacitance of the first diode and a inductor.
