Abstract
An elastic wave resonator includes a first, second and third reflectors. The first reflector is between a portion including a first IDT electrode and a third IDT electrode and a portion including a second IDT electrode and a fourth IDT electrode and is shared by the first to fourth IDT electrodes. The second reflector is shared by the first and third IDT electrodes. The third reflector is shared by the second and fourth IDT electrodes. The first and third IDT electrodes share a first common busbar. The second and fourth IDT electrodes share a second common busbar. The first and second common busbars are connected to the first reflector. A first busbar, a second busbar, a third busbar, and a fourth busbar of the respective first to fourth IDT electrodes are electrically connected to each other.
