A phase shifter includes first and second single pole double throw switches, a low-pass filter, and a high-pass filter. The first switch has an input terminal and first and second output terminals, and the second switch has first and second input terminals and an output terminal. The low-pass filter is interposed between the first output terminal of the first switch and the first input terminal of the second switch and includes FETs as capacitors. The high-pass filter is interposed between the second output terminal of the first switch and the second input terminal of the second switch and includes a plurality of FETs as capacitors. The input terminal of first switch and the output terminal of the second switch are an input terminal and an output terminal of the phase shifter, respectively. Each of the high-pass filter and the low-pass filter produces two different phase quantities by the on-off switching of the FETs. Therefore, four different phase quantities are obtained in the phase shifter, i.e., two different phase shift quantities are realized in the phase shifter.
