Duplexer (1), comprising: an antenna connection (11), a transmission connection (12), a receiving connection (13), a transmission filter connected between the antenna connection (11) and the transmission connection (12), a receiving filter connected between the antenna terminal (11) and the receiving terminal (13), and an
inductance component (4) connected at one end to the antenna terminal (11) and connected at another end to a ground potential, wherein the transmission filter comprises an elastic wave filter having a ladder circuit configuration, the elastic wave filter including a
piezoelectric substrate (5), a series arm
resonator (51, 52, 53, 54) and a plurality of shunt arm resonators (P1 - P4), the series arm
resonator (51, 52, 53, 54) comprising an elastic wave
resonator formed on the
piezoelectric substrate and the shunt arm resonators (P1 - P4) each comprising an elastic wave resonator formed on the
piezoelectric substrate (5), and wherein one of the shunt arm resonators provided in a shunt arm arranged closest to the transmission terminal in the ladder circuit configuration comprises a transmission-side shunt arm resonator (P1), and the transmission-side shunt arm resonator (P1) is arranged closer to one side of the piezoelectric substrate (5) than a rest of the shunt arm resonators (P2 - P4), the one side (5a) extending in a direction parallel to a propagation direction of an elastic wave in the transmission-side shunt arm resonator (P1), characterized in that the
inductance component (4) is arranged outside one side of the piezoelectric substrate such that the
electromagnetic coupling between the
inductance component (4) and the transmitting-side shunt arm resonator (P1) with its own ground connection is stronger than the
electromagnetic coupling between the inductance component (4) and the rest of the shunt arm resonators (P2 - P4).
