Abstract
In a longitudinally coupled multi-mode piezoelectric bulk wave filter, a laminated piezoelectric body obtained by overlapping a plurality of excitation electrodes with piezoelectric layers therebetween and piezoelectric portions aligned with the laminated piezoelectric body are integrated. The thickness of each of the piezoelectric portions is greater than the thickness of the laminated piezoelectric body. The input electrode, the output electrode, and the ground electrode are connected to the respective excitation electrodes of the piezoelectric body. When an input signal is applied between the input electrode and the ground electrode, harmonics, with a plurality of different orders of vibrations, using the piezoelectric longitudinal effect are efficiently generated and are combined to produce the filter characteristic.
