Surface acoustic wave filter including alternate open and shorted reflector grating

摘要

A surface acoustic wave filter according to the present invention is constructed by connecting in series one or two or more filter functional units each comprising a first surface acoustic wave resonator having input and output terminals connected in series with a signal line and a second surface acoustic wave resonator having input and output terminals one of which is connected to the signal line and the other of which is grounded. The first surface acoustic wave resonator is constituted by one interdigital transducer and a pair of electrically open strip type grating reflectors with the interdigital transducer interposed therebetween, and the second surface acoustic wave resonator is constituted by one interdigital transducer and a pair of electrically short strip type grating reflectors with the interdigital transducer interposed therebetween.
