Abstract:
When a current flowing in a series circuit including an equivalent resistance, an equivalent inductor, and an equivalent capacitance in an electric equivalent circuit of a specific resonator in each filter is defined as an acoustic path current, under conditions that a phase of an acoustic path current of a first transmission filter at a side of a common terminal at a frequency within a first pass band is represented as θ1Tx1, a phase of an acoustic path current of the first transmission filter at the side of the common terminal at a frequency within a second pass band is represented as θ2Tx1, a phase of an acoustic path current of a second transmission filter at the side of the common terminal at a frequency within the first pass band is represented as θ1Tx2, and a phase of an acoustic path current of the second transmission filter at the side of the common terminal at a frequency within the second pass band is represented as θ2Tx2, a multiplexer satisfies a first condition: |(2·θ1Tx1−θ2Tx1)−(2·θ1Tx2−θ2Tx2)|=180°±90°, or a second condition: |(2·θ2Tx1−θ1Tx1)−(2·θ2Tx2−θ1Tx2)|=180°±90°.

Abstract:
In an acoustic wave device, an antenna end resonator that is electrically closest to a first terminal is a first acoustic wave resonator. In each of the first acoustic wave resonator and a second acoustic wave resonator, a thickness of a piezoelectric layer is about 3.5λ or less when a wavelength of an acoustic wave is denoted as λ. The first acoustic wave resonator and the second acoustic wave resonator satisfy at least one of a first condition, a second condition, and a third condition. The first condition is a condition that the first acoustic wave resonator further includes a dielectric film provided between the piezoelectric layer and an interdigital transducer electrode, and the second acoustic wave resonator does not include the dielectric film.

A multiplexer includes N acoustic wave filters each including one end connected in common and having a different pass band, in which when the N acoustic wave filters are in order from a side of a lower frequency of the pass band, at least one n-th acoustic wave filter among the N acoustic wave filters excluding an acoustic wave filter having the highest frequency of the pass band includes one or more acoustic wave resonators including a support substrate, a silicon nitride film laminated on the support substrate, a silicon oxide film laminated on the silicon nitride film, a piezoelectric body laminated on the silicon oxide film, and an IDT electrode provided on the piezoelectric body. All acoustic wave filters having a pass band in a higher frequency than a frequency of a pass band of the n-th acoustic wave filter satisfy fhl_t(n)>fu(m) or fhl_t(n)
