Filter device for transmitter-receiver antenna

摘要

A filter device for a transmitter-receiver antenna includes a transmission side filter having resonators and a reception side filter having resonators. Each of the transmission side resonators has a first characteristic impedance ratio other than one. On the other hand, each of the reception side resonators has a second characteristic impedance ratio being set to a value which prevents spurious resonance of the reception side filter at an integral multiple of a fundamental resonance frequency of the transmission side filter, so as to avoid the situation where spurious components increase at the above-noted integral multiple in a frequency characteristic of the transmission side filter being affected by a frequency characteristic of the reception side filter.
