Abstract

An antenna switching circuit for a portable radio-frequency apparatus, such as a portable telephone, provides an antenna switching circuit which enables switching of a radio-frequency signal path passing through an antenna, between a built-in antenna and an external antenna, and which increases the degree of freedom in arranging the components of the apparatus, which comprises a built-in antenna 3, an external-antenna connector 2a and a radio-frequency cable 6 serving as a path for radio-frequency signals, with an electrical control switch 11 for selecting either the built-in antenna 3 or the external-antenna connector 2a.
