  • Frequency-variable filter
    Patent number: 10250227
    Abstract: A frequency-variable filter includes a filter unit and matching circuits. The filter unit includes frequency-variable resonance circuits that include piezoelectric resonators. The matching circuits have a circuit configuration in which a real number component of an impedance increases as the frequency increases. For example, the matching circuits have an L-type circuit configuration that includes a reactance element connected in shunt to the side of the filter unit and that includes an inductor and a capacitor. As the filter unit includes the piezoelectric resonators, the real number component of the impedance increases as the pass band shifts to a high-frequency side, but the real number component of the impedance increases as the frequency increases in the matching circuits as well. Thus, the impedance matching is achieved.
