Abstract
An end face reflection type surface wave resonator utilizing SH type surface waves capable of providing a plurality of resonance characteristics is formed as a single element. In the surface wave resonator, surface waves are reflected between two opposite end faces of a piezoelectric substrate. The surface wave resonator has IDTs that form first and second resonant units. The distance L between the two end faces is selected to be within a range expressed by (.lambda..sub.1 /2).times.N.sub.1 .+-.(.lambda..sub.1 /20) (N.sub.1 is an integral number) where .lambda.1 represents the wavelength of a surface wave excited by the first resonant unit. The distance L is chosen to be out of a range expressed by (.lambda..sub.2 /2).times.N.sub.2 .+-.(.lambda..sub.1 /20) (N.sub.2 is an integral number) where .lambda..sub.2 represents the wavelength of a surface wave excited by the second resonant unit.
