Abstract
A radio frequency module includes a module board, a transmission power amplifier, a first inductance element mounted on a first principal surface and connected to an output terminal of the transmission power amplifier, a reception low-noise amplifier, and a second inductance element mounted on a first principal surface connected to an input terminal of the reception low-noise amplifier. In a plan view of the module board, a conductive member mounted on the first principal surface is disposed between the first inductance element and the second inductance element.
