  • Patent number: 11595014
    Abstract: A filter circuit that secures the steepness from a pass range to an attenuation range while maintaining a wide-band transmission characteristic and a filter device including this filter circuit are formed. A filter circuit includes a first filter and a second filter. The first filter is a filter including an LC circuit in which a first frequency band is a pass band and a frequency band not higher than the first frequency band is an attenuation band. The second filter is a filter that attenuates a second frequency band within the first frequency band by using an attenuation pole produced by a resonance or an antiresonance of an acoustic wave resonator. Further, the first filter is placed closer to an antenna terminal than the second filter.
