An elastic wave filter has an unbalanced signal terminal, first and second balanced signal terminals, and first through fifth IDT electrodes arranged in ordinal order between a pair of grating reflectors. Wiring electrodes of the third and fifth IDT electrodes are disposed adjacent a ground electrode of the fourth IDT electrode, wiring electrodes of the second and third IDT electrodes are disposed adjacent one another, and ground electrodes of the first and second IDT electrodes are disposed adjacent one another. The unbalanced signal terminal is connected to the wiring electrodes of the first, third, and fifth IDT electrodes, and the first and second balanced signal terminals are connected to the wiring electrodes of the second and fourth IDT electrodes, respectively. A pitch gradation of pitch spacing between electrode fingers in each of the first, second, and third IDT electrodes on one side of a center line in the third IDT electrode is gradually reduced by a first spacing α, and a pitch gradation of pitch spacing between electrode fingers in each of the third, fourth, and fifth IDT electrodes on the other side of the center line is gradually reduced by a second spacing &bgr; (&bgr;≠α), as the distance from the center line increases. |
