Abstract
There is provided a radio-frequency module and a radio communication system capable of supporting multiple bands at low cost or small size. A high-frequency power amplifier device includes a power amplifier circuit unit for GSM and a control circuit outputting antenna switch control signals with a VSWlevel or a VSWlevel in response to a mode setting signal for selecting GSM or W-CDMA. The VSWlevel is generated by boosting the VSWlevel using a clock signal from an oscillation circuit. When GSM is selected by the mode setting signal, the high-frequency power amplifier device stops the oscillation circuit and outputs the antenna switch control signals of the VSWlevel to an antenna switch device. When W-CDMA is selected by the mode setting signal, the high-frequency power amplifier device outputs the antenna switch control signals of the VSWlevel to the antenna switch device, using the oscillation circuit.
