Abstract
A filter includes: a series-arm resonator; and a parallel-arm resonator. The series-arm resonator and the parallel-arm resonator each include: an interdigital transducer (IDT) electrode formed on a substrate and including a plurality of electrode fingers; and a protective film. The protective film included in the parallel-arm resonator is thinner than the protective film included in the series-arm resonator. The parallel-arm resonator has a first fractional bandwidth ((the higher-order resonance frequency−the resonant frequency)/the resonant frequency) greater than the first fractional bandwidth of the series-arm resonator. The parallel-arm resonator has a second fractional bandwidth ((the higher-order antiresonant frequency−the antiresonant frequency)/the antiresonant frequency) greater than the second fractional bandwidth of the series-arm resonator.
