Abstract
In a multiple stage ladder type SAW filter constructed by cascade-connecting several SAW resonators in the form of a multiple-stage ladder, the electrode pitches of the first stage series-arm SAW resonator through the last stage series-arm SAW resonator, respectively, are gradually decreased. In this case, each stage has a series-arm SAW resonator and a shunt-arm SAW resonator. As a result, the resonance frequencies of the first stage series-arm SAW resonator through the last stage series-arm SAW resonator are increased monotonically from the first stage to the last stage. As a consequence, the frequencies of the upper poles of attenuation generated by the series-arm SAW resonators differ from each other. Therefore, a desired amount of attenuation can be obtained over a wide band.
