  • Publication number: 20190007030
    Abstract: A composite filter device includes an antenna common terminal, a first band pass filter having a first pass band, and a second band pass filter having a second pass band located at higher frequencies than the first pass band. The first band pass filter includes an elastic wave resonator. The elastic wave resonator includes a LiNbO3 substrate, an IDT electrode on the LiNbO3 substrate, and a dielectric film that covers the IDT electrode and includes a silicon oxide as a main component. When f1? is the frequency of a Sezawa wave of the first band pass filter and f2 is the center frequency of the second pass band, f1? is located at a different position from f2.

  • Patent number: 10148247
    Abstract: An elastic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate, first and second IDT electrodes disposed on a first main surface, and bumps each connected to one of the first and second IDT electrodes. First and second side portions extend in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the polarization axis direction and to a direction normal to the piezoelectric substrate. The length of the piezoelectric substrate along the polarization axis direction at the first side portion is shorter than that at the second side portion. The first IDT electrode is located at a position closer to the first side portion than the second IDT electrode. The bumps include three or more first side bumps including first and second bumps that sandwich the first IDT electrode therebetween. The distance between the first and second bumps is the smallest distance among the distances between adjacent bumps of the first side bumps.

  • Patent number: 10056879
    Abstract: In an elastic wave filter device, a first filter including a first pass band and a second filter including a second pass band are common-connected at a common connection point. The first filter includes, on the common connection point side, a serial arm resonator, a parallel arm resonator, or a longitudinally coupled resonator-type elastic wave filter, and generates a fundamental wave and a high-order mode. A resonant frequency of the high-order mode on a higher frequency side relative to the first pass band of the first filter is smaller than the second pass band. On the common connection point side, a serial arm resonator in which the resonant frequency is not the highest, a parallel arm resonator, or a longitudinally coupled resonator-type elastic wave filter, is disposed.
