Abstract

A surface acoustic wave filter comprises a piezoelectric substrate (11), IDT electrodes (12, 13) provided on a first surface acoustic wave propagation path on the piezoelectric substrate (11), reflector electrodes (14, 15) disposed on both sides of a first electrode pattern including the IDT electrodes (12, 13), one or more IDT electrodes (16) provided on a second surface acoustic wave propagation path, different from the first one, on the piezoelectric substrate (11), and reflector electrodes (17, 18) disposed on both sides of a second electrode pattern including the IDT electrodes (16). The IDT electrodes (12, 13) on the first surface acoustic wave propagation path are electrically connected in series through a connection wiring portion (19). The IDT electrodes (16) on the second surface acoustic wave propagation path are connected between the connection wiring portion (19) and the ground (20). Thus the SAW filter (10) can be made smaller.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a surface acoustic wave filter mainly used in mobile phones and the like. Background technique [0002] Surface acoustic wave filters (hereinafter referred to as SAW filters) are used in mobile phones and the like in order to select only a desired frequency band. In the SAW filter, it is necessary to widen the pass bandwidth, increase the suppression capability and reduce the insertion loss. Regarding this demand, JP-A-5-183380 shows a structure with a ladder-type SAW filter, which widens the normal bandwidth, reduces the insertion loss and increases the ability to suppress outside the normal bandwidth. According to this, the first surface acoustic wave resonator having a pair of terminals is arranged in the parallel arm, which has a prescribed resonance frequency (resonant frequency), and the second surface acoustic wave resonator having a pair of terminals is arranged in the series arm Among them, it has a resonant frequen...
