Abstract

A filter includes: one or more series resonators connected in series between an input terminal and an output terminal; one or more parallel resonators connected in parallel between the input terminal and the output terminal; a first inductor having one end connected to at least one of the input terminal and the output terminal; a second inductor having one end connected to a terminal near a ground of at least one of the parallel resonators; and a third inductor connected between a first node and the ground, the first node connecting the other end of the first inductor and the other end of the second inductor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A filter comprising:
one or more series resonators connected in series between an input terminal and an output terminal;
one or more parallel resonators connected in parallel between the input terminal and the output terminal;
a first inductor having one end connected to at least one of the input terminal and the output terminal without via any resonators;
a second inductor having one end connected to a terminal near a ground of at least one of the parallel resonators; and
a third inductor connected between a first node and the ground, the first node connecting the other end of the first inductor and the other end of the second inductor.

2. The filter as claimed in claim 1 , comprising:
the second inductor comprising at least two second inductors each having one end connected to respective one of at least two parallel resonators among the one or more parallel resonators; and
a fourth inductor inserted between a second node and the first node, the second node connecting the other ends of the at least two second inductors in common.

3. The filter as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the first inductor is connected to any one of between the input terminal and the first node and between the output terminal and the first node.

4. The filter as claimed in claim 1 , comprising:
a first substrate on which the one or more series resonators and the one or more parallel resonators are formed; and
a second substrate on which the first substrate is mounted and the first to the third inductors are formed.

5. A duplexer comprising:
a transmission filter connected between a common terminal and a transmission terminal; and
a reception filter connected between the common terminal and a reception terminal;
wherein at least one of the transmission filter and reception filter is a filter as claimed in claim 1 .

6. The duplexer as claimed in claim 5 , wherein
the first inductor is connected to the common terminal and the first node.

7. A module comprising:
a filter as claimed in claim 1 .
