Surface acoustic wave filter having parallel/serial resonator connection based on transmitting and receiving frequencies

摘要

A surface acoustic wave filter having a configuration in which a plurality of series surface acoustic wave resonators and parallel surface acoustic wave resonators are connected is used as a receiving filter included in a receiving circuit of a communication apparatus capable of simultaneously transmitting and receiving signals. When the transmitting frequency is higher than the receiving frequency, one of the parallel surface acoustic wave resonator, connected between the signal line and the ground, is disposed most closely to the input terminal of the filter. When the transmitting frequency is lower than the receiving frequency, one of the series surface acoustic wave resonator, connected in series to the signal line, is disposed most closely to the input terminal of the filter. Accordingly, the singular point of the filter is prevented from coinciding with the transmitting frequency, so that the deterioration of the resonator is prevented.
