Abstract
Embodiments of an acoustic filter are disclosed. In some embodiments, a bandpass filter is included in a passband signal path, the passband signal path is connected between a first terminal and a second terminal. A first bandstop filter is located in a first stopband signal path, the first stopband signal path connected at the first terminal. Additionally, a second bandstop filter is located in a second stopband signal path, the second stopband signal path is connected at the second terminal.
