The arrangement comprises a filter (ST,SF,S1,S2) including transmission line resonators, said filter being provided with adaptation couplings to be coupled to the transmission line resonators and for accomplishing couplings between the transmission line resonators. The adaptation couplings comprise an impedance adaptation circuit comprised of discrete components for adapting the filter to the antenna. The switching element (K, KT, KF) includes parts of the adaptation couplings of the filter, whereby the switching element is connected to the filter utilizing the adaptation couplings thereof and said impedance adaptation circuit is arranged in the switching element to serve as a phase shifter.Other References
