| 1. A high-frequency electronic switch comprising:
a signal input terminal to which a high-frequency signal to be switched is input;
a plurality of amplifying circuits with transistors to respectively amplify the high-frequency signal to be switched sequentially,
the amplifying circuits being cascade-connected in a plurality of stages to the signal input terminal;
a signal output terminal which is connected to an output section of an amplifying circuit at final stage among the plurality
of amplifying circuits, and which outputs the high-frequency signal to be switched sequentially amplified;
a control terminal to which a pulse signal serving as a switching signal and having a period of a first level and a period
of a second level is input; and
a supply current control circuit which makes the plurality of amplifying circuits be in an amplification-operational state
by supplying operational current to each of the transistors of the plurality of amplifying circuits in a period when the pulse
signal input to the control terminal is at the first level, and which makes the plurality of amplifying circuits be in a non-amplification-operational
state by stopping supplying operational current to each of the transistors of the plurality of amplifying circuits in a period
when the pulse signal is at the second level,
the high-frequency electronic switch which turns on/off between the signal input terminal and the signal output terminal substantially
high-frequency likewise in accordance with a level of the pulse signal input to the control terminal.
