Abstract
A surface acoustic wave filter and a duplexer are provided. In a surface acoustic wave filter, on a piezoelectric substrate, a first IDT electrode composed of an input/output electrode and a first floating electrode, and a second IDT electrode composed of a ground electrode and a second floating electrode are arranged, and are connected in series to each other via the first floating electrode and the second floating electrode to form IDTs. In two serial IDTs arranged next to each other, an electrode finger of the input/output electrode in the first IDT electrode of one serial IDT is arranged next to an electrode finger of the ground electrode in the second IDT electrode of the other serial IDT.
