SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVE DEVICE

摘要

A surface acoustic wave device is provided which can adjust a band width without connecting an additional capacity, and which has a sufficiently small propagation loss. In a surface acoustic wave device (1), a plurality of surface acoustic wave elements (2 and 3) are made of piezoelectric bodies (4) having the same Cut-Angle. In the surface acoustic wave elements (2 and 3), a propagation azimuth (X1) of a surface acoustic wave in at least one surface acoustic wave element (2) is different from a propagation azimuth (X2) of a surface acoustic wave in at least another one surface acoustic wave element (3). In each of the surface acoustic wave elements (2 and 3), a confinement layer (12) for confining the surface acoustic wave inside the piezoelectric body (4) is disposed on the piezoelectric body (4) at the side opposite to the side where an electrode is formed.
