Patent number: 11496106Abstract: A filter device is mounted on a module substrate and is shielded by a shield member. The filter device has first and second side surfaces opposed to each other. A ground terminal and signal terminals are formed on a bottom surface of the filter device. The shield member includes side wall portions facing the first and second side surfaces. The filter device includes plural LC parallel resonance circuits therein. The inductors of the LC parallel resonance circuits are arranged in parallel with the first side surface and the bottom surface. Each inductor extends upward from its end portion electrically connected to the ground terminal, extends from the first side surface toward the second side surface, and then extends toward the bottom surface. The gap between the first side surface and the corresponding side wall portion is smaller than that between the second side surface and the corresponding side wall portion.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: MURATA MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventor: Kazuhiro Takahashi
