  • Publication number: 20240137000
    Abstract: A filter device includes a piezoelectric substrate, a dielectric layer on the piezoelectric substrate, a first IDT electrode on the dielectric layer, a second IDT electrode positioned on the piezoelectric substrate in an area where the dielectric layer is not provided such that the first and second IDT electrodes are side by side in an acoustic wave propagation direction extending along a principal surface of the piezoelectric substrate, a first reflector on the dielectric layer and adjacent to the first IDT electrode on a side of the second IDT electrode, and a second reflector on the piezoelectric substrate and adjacent to the second IDT electrode on a side of the first IDT electrode. The dielectric layer includes an edge portion between the first and second reflectors in planar view seen from a stacking direction of the piezoelectric substrate and the dielectric layer.

  • Patent number: 11936366
    Abstract: An elastic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate, and elastic wave elements on the piezoelectric substrate and including IDT electrodes, respectively. The IDT electrode of a first of the elastic wave elements includes first and second busbars, and the IDT electrode of a second of the elastic wave elements includes third and fourth busbars. The second busbar and the third busbar extend parallel or substantially parallel to each other, and are spaced by a gap in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to an elastic-wave propagating direction. Each of the second and third busbars includes first and second electrode layers at least a portion of which is laminated on the first electrode layer. The second electrode layer of the second busbar is cut in at least one location in a direction crossing the elastic-wave propagating direction.

  • Publication number: 20230318572
    Abstract: A filter device includes a first path, a second path, and a capacitor. The first path includes at least one ladder filter circuit and connects a first terminal and a second terminal. The at least one ladder filter circuit includes a parallel arm resonator connected to a ground terminal. The second path includes a grounded resonator and is connected in parallel with any of the at least one ladder filter circuit. One end of the capacitor is connected to the second path, and the other end of the capacitor is connected to a third path which connects the parallel arm resonator and the ground terminal.

  • Patent number: 11522519
    Abstract: A transmit filter circuit includes an input terminal, an output terminal, plural series arm resonators, and a parallel arm resonator. The input terminal receives a transmit signal. The output terminal is electrically connected to an antenna. The plural series arm resonators are electrically connected in series with each other on a line between the input and output terminals. The plural series arm resonators include first and second series arm resonators. The first series arm resonator is closest to the output terminal. The second series arm resonator is second closest to the output terminal. A first end of the parallel arm resonator is electrically connected to a node between the first and second series arm resonators. A reference potential is provided to a second end of the parallel arm resonator. The resonant frequency of the first series arm resonator is higher than that of the second series arm resonator.
