Abstract
A bandpass filter includes a layered structure including a plurality of stacked dielectric layers, and first to third resonators provided within the layered structure. In terms of circuit configuration, the second resonator is located between the first and third resonators. The first resonator includes a first inductor and a first capacitor. The second resonator includes a second inductor and a second capacitor. The third resonator includes a third inductor and a third capacitor. The second inductor is disposed at a position different from that of each of the first and third inductors in the stacking direction of the dielectric layers. The second inductor is lower in inductance than the first and third inductors. The second capacitor is higher in capacitance than the first and third capacitors.
