Surface acoustic wave device and communication device including same

摘要

A surface acoustic wave device having an unbalanced-to-balanced conversion function, which is capable of improving balanced characteristics, includes a first resonator filter and a second resonator filter, having a plurality of interdigital transducers disposed along the propagation direction of a surface acoustic wave. The surface acoustic wave device has an unbalanced-to-balanced conversion function as a result of the phase of the second resonator filter being reversed by 180° with respect to that of the first resonator filter. The surface acoustic wave device further includes a first resonator connected in series to an unbalanced signal terminal side of the first resonator filter, and a second resonator connected in series to an unbalanced signal terminal side of the second resonator filter. The first resonator and the second resonator have different design parameters.
