Abstract
A longitudinally-coupled resonator-type acoustic wave device includes first to third IDT electrodes disposed on a piezoelectric material and first and second reflectors disposed in acoustic wave propagation directions. Each of any two IDT electrodes adjacent to each other in the acoustic wave propagation directions, of the first to third IDT electrodes, has a narrower-pitch electrode finger portion at an edge thereof adjacent to the other IDT electrode. Most portions of the first to third IDT electrodes are apodized, and the narrower-pitch electrode finger portions and the electrode finger portions adjacent thereto are normally shaped.
