Surface acoustic wave filter, balanced type filter and communication device

摘要

A longitudinal mode type surface acoustic wave filter comprising a first IDT electrode, second and third IDT electrodes, and first and second reflector electrodes are formed on a piezoelectric substrate. The upper electrode of the first IDT electrode is connected to one of balanced type terminals, and the lower electrode of the first IDT electrode is connected to the other balanced type terminal. Also, the lower electrode of the second IDT electrode is connected to an unbalanced type terminal, and the lower electrode is grounded. The lower electrode of the third IDT electrode is connected to the unbalanced type terminal, and the upper electrode is grounded.
