Abstract
A longitudinally coupled multi-mode piezoelectric bulk wave filter device which is manufactured at low cost, presents a wide bandwidth, results in a large attenuation, and includes first and second piezoelectric bulk wave filters which are mounted on a casing substrate. The first and second piezoelectric bulk wave filters are arranged such that the distance between the ground electrodes of the first and second piezoelectric bulk wave filters is smaller than the distance between input electrodes of the first and second piezoelectric bulk wave filters and the distance between output electrodes of the first and second piezoelectric bulk wave filters. When an input signal is applied between the input electrode and the ground electrode, harmonic waves of different orders are excited and coupled. A filter output is provided between the output electrode and the ground electrode.
