Abstract

A switching circuit includes first to (N+1)th input/output terminals and first to Nth field-effect transistors (FETs), for an integer N of two or more. When one of a source end and a drain end is referred to as a first end and another one is referred to as a second end, the first input/output terminal is electrically connected to the first ends of all of the first to Nth FETs. For each integer i of one to N, the second end of the ith FET is electrically connected to the (i+1)th input/output terminal. For at least one integer j of one to N, a combination in which an inductor component and a resistor component are electrically connected in series to each other is disposed between the first and second ends of the jth FET such that the combination is electrically connected in parallel to the jth FET.
