This invention relates to the structure of a band-pass or band-rejection filter by combining a plurality of one-port surface acoustic wave resonators (421 to 433 or Q₁ to Q₄) whose interdigital electrode fingers are disposed on a piezoelectric substrate (10). The filter combining surface acoustic wave resonators of the present invention consists of a series circuit of the one-­port surface acoustic wave resonators (421 to 433 or 70 to 72) disposed on a piezoelectric substrate (10) for transmitting elastic surface wave and a plurality of circuit elements con­taining capacitance elements (431 to 433 or 70 to 72), and one-port surface acoustic wave resonators (421 to 433 or 70 to 72) disposed between the elec­trodes of the plurality of circuit elements and the common ground. This structure can accomplish a filter having a low loss, high power handling capability and high design freedom of rejection-­and passing-band.
