  • Publication number: 20220329226
    Abstract: A filter device includes a port, a reference potential part, at least one filter, a signal line, a first inductor, and at least one second inductor. A signal is input through the port, and/or a signal is output through the port. The reference potential part is placed at a reference potential. The at least one filter filters a signal. The signal line connects the port to the at least one filter. The first inductor is at least part of the signal line. The second inductor forms a connection between the signal line and the reference potential part. The first inductor and the at least one second inductor are inductively coupled to each other.

  • Patent number: 11309867
    Abstract: A SAW filter includes a substrate including a piezoelectric substrate, a transmission filter, and an additional resonator. The transmission filter is a ladder-type filter filtering signals from a transmission terminal and outputting the result to an antenna terminal. Further, the transmission filter includes one or more serial resonators and one or more parallel resonators which are connected in a ladder configuration on the piezoelectric substrate. An initial stage resonator is the serial resonator. The additional resonator includes an IDT electrode on the piezoelectric substrate. The IDT electrode is connected to the transmission terminal at a stage before the transmission filter and is connected to any of the one or more GND terminals. In the additional resonator, a resonance frequency and an antiresonance frequency are located outside of a passband of the transmission filter.
