    摘要: An acoustic wave filter device includes a first resonant circuit, a second resonant circuit, a first interconnect line, and a second interconnect line. The second resonant circuit includes a second parallel-arm resonator, and a frequency-tuning circuit that allows tuning of the resonant frequency of the second parallel-arm resonator. The frequency-tuning circuit includes a capacitor, and a switching element connected in parallel with the capacitor. The first interconnect line is an interconnect line connected to the portion of the series-arm resonator located adjacent to the first input/output terminal. The second interconnect line is an interconnect line connecting the parallel-arm resonator with the switching element, or an interconnect line connecting the parallel-arm resonator with the capacitor. A first transmission line formed by the first interconnect line, and a second transmission line formed by the second interconnect line are magnetically coupled with each other.

    摘要: An RF front-end circuit (2) includes an antenna common terminal (20) connected to an antenna element (1), an SPDT switch circuit (21) having a common terminal (21c) and select terminals (21s1 and 21s2), and four filter elements (22A to 22D). The common terminal (21c) and the filter elements (22C and 22D) are connected to the antenna common terminal (20). The filter elements (22A and 22B) are connected to the select terminals (21s1 and 21s2), respectively. Pass bands of the filter elements (22A, 22C and 22D) do not overlap with one another, and pass bands of the filter elements (22B, 22C and 22D) do not overlap with one another. The pass bands of the filter elements (22A and 22B) partly overlap with each other.

    摘要: A multilayer filter includes a plurality of mutually coupled resonant circuits provided within a multilayer body. Capacitor internal electrodes, inductor internal electrodes, and inductor via electrodes, ground via electrodes, and input-output via electrodes are arranged within the multilayer body. The ground via electrodes and the input-output via electrodes are provided on a dielectric layer on a mounting surface, or a second dielectric layer on a first dielectric layer provided on the mounting surface. The capacitor internal electrodes arranged towards the side of the mounting surface do not overlap the input-output electrodes when viewed in plan view. With this configuration, degradation in frequency characteristics of a resonant circuit is effectively prevented by controlling one of an inductive component and a capacitive component of the resonant circuit.

    摘要: A filter includes a series-arm resonator connected on a path connecting input/output terminals, and first and second parallel-arm resonators connected between the same node on the path and ground. A resonant frequency of the second parallel-arm resonator is higher than a resonant frequency of the first parallel-arm resonator, and an anti-resonant frequency of the second parallel-arm resonator is higher than an anti-resonant frequency of the first parallel-arm resonator. Each of the first and second parallel-arm resonators includes an acoustic wave resonator including an IDT electrode. The IDT electrode in the second parallel-arm resonator has a higher duty ratio than the IDT electrode in the first parallel-arm resonator, where the duty ratio is the ratio of the width to the pitch of electrode fingers.

    摘要: A tunable filter includes a series-arm resonant circuit, and a parallel-arm resonant circuit. The series-arm resonant circuit includes a group of acoustic wave resonant circuits that have different resonant frequencies, a variable capacitor, and switching circuits. The parallel-arm resonant circuit includes another group of acoustic wave resonant circuits that have different resonant frequencies, a variable capacitor, and switching circuits. For example, the difference in pass-band frequency caused by the difference in resonant frequency between the acoustic wave resonant circuit in the group and the acoustic wave resonant circuit in the other group is greater than the maximum difference in pass-band frequency resulting from the variable range of capacitance of the variable capacitor.
