Abstract
A transmission filter includes five series resonators that include functional electrodes provided on a piezoelectric substrate, and connected in series with each other between a transmission input terminal and an antenna terminal, and parallel resonators. Frequency differences between the anti-resonant frequencies and the resonant frequencies of the series resonators other than the series resonator connected so as to be closest to the transmission input terminal and the series resonator connected so as to be closest to the antenna terminal are smaller than frequency differences of the series resonators, and anti-resonant frequencies of the series resonators are lower than the anti-resonant frequencies of the series resonators.
Claims18
An elastic wave filter comprising:
- four or more series resonators that are connected in series with each other between an input terminal and an output terminal;
- and
- a parallel resonator that is connected between any of connection nodes between the input terminal, the output terminal and the four or more series resonators, and a reference terminal;
- wherein
- frequency differences that are differences between anti-resonant frequencies and resonant frequencies of all of the series resonators except for a first series resonator that is connected so as to be closest to the input terminal and a second series resonator that is connected so as to be closest to the output terminal among the four or more series resonators are smaller than frequency differences between the anti-resonant frequencies and the resonant frequencies of the first series resonator and the second series resonator, and the anti-resonant frequencies of all of the series resonators except for the first series resonator and the second series resonator are lower than the anti-resonant frequencies of the first series resonator and the second series resonator.
