The first filter circuit allows a signal of a first frequency band to pass therethrough between a first terminal and a common terminal and includes a first resonator which is connected at one end to a line disposed between the first terminal and the common terminal to branch off from the line. The second filter circuit allows a signal of a second frequency band, which is different from the first frequency band, to pass therethrough between a second terminal and the common terminal. The first wiring is connected at one end to the common terminal and is opened at the other end. The second wiring is connected at one end to the other end of the first resonator and is grounded at the other end. The first wiring is electromagnetically coupled with second wiring.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: MURATA MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventors: Yushi Sugimoto, Jin Yokoyama, Tomohide Aramata

Patent number: 8766727Abstract: A power amplification circuit amplifies and then outputs transmission signals of a first frequency and a second frequency, which are different from each other. When the transmission signal of the first frequency is input, a first switch is turned ON, a first LC parallel resonant circuit enters a resonant state and the transmission signal is transmitted using a line containing a first capacitor as a main line. When the transmission signal of the second frequency is input, a second switch is turned ON, a second LC parallel resonant circuit enters a resonant state and the transmission signal is transmitted using a line containing a second capacitor as a main line. Therefore, a transmission signal does not pass through, using as a main line, a line into which a switch has been incorporated.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2013Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Tomohide Aramata

Patent number: 7868705Abstract: In a high-frequency oscillator, a first resonance circuit and a second resonance circuit are respectively connected to a first amplifier circuit and a second amplifier circuit. A selection circuit includes a first switch circuit and a second switch circuit which selectively operate one of the first amplifier circuit and the second amplifier circuit.
