Abstract: An acoustic wave filter includes a filter circuit and an additional circuit that includes IDTs and reflectors. The IDTs each include comb-shaped electrode fingers. The reflectors each include reflector electrode fingers. A relationship of about 0.60+n?G/(Pi+Pr)?0.93+n is satisfied, where n is an integer of 0 or more, Pi is an array pitch of the comb-shaped electrode fingers arranged along a second direction, Pr is an array pitch of the reflector electrode fingers arranged along the second direction, and G denotes, in boundary regions between the IDTs and the reflectors, an IDT-reflector gap, which is a center-to-center distance between a comb-shaped electrode finger closest to the reflectors and a reflector electrode finger closest to the IDTs.

Abstract: A piezoelectric device ensures resistance to molding without an increase in costs and includes an elemental substrate having a piezoelectric element and a conductive pattern electrically connected to the piezoelectric element; and insulating members disposed on the elemental substrate and surrounding the piezoelectric element leaving a space around the piezoelectric element. The insulating members have an internal conductor connected to the conductive pattern and extending apart from the elemental substrate. The internal conductor has expanded portions expanding in a direction intersecting the wiring direction of the internal conductor or a detour portion deviating from the wiring direction. The expanded portions or the detour portion crosses the boundary of a sealed space formed around the piezoelectric element.

Abstract: A surface acoustic wave branching filter reduces deterioration of the insertion loss and improves the isolation characteristics. The surface acoustic wave filter includes first ends of a first acoustic wave filter, having a relatively low passband, and a second acoustic wave filter, having a relatively high passband, connected to a first common terminal which is connected to an antenna. A resonator of the first surface acoustic wave filter, among a plurality of parallel-arm resonators and a plurality of series-arm resonators, which is closest to the first common terminal is a parallel-arm resonator. The capacitance of the parallel-arm resonator that is closest to the first common terminal is less than ½ of the capacitance of the other parallel-arm resonators.
