Abstract
A surface acoustic wave branching filter reduces deterioration of the insertion loss and improves the isolation characteristics. The surface acoustic wave filter includes first ends of a first acoustic wave filter, having a relatively low passband, and a second acoustic wave filter, having a relatively high passband, connected to a first common terminal which is connected to an antenna. A resonator of the first surface acoustic wave filter, among a plurality of parallel-arm resonators and a plurality of series-arm resonators, which is closest to the first common terminal is a parallel-arm resonator. The capacitance of the parallel-arm resonator that is closest to the first common terminal is less than ½ of the capacitance of the other parallel-arm resonators.
