Abstract
Abstract An IIDT type surface acoustic wave filter (41) comprising a piezoelectric substrate and at least three IDTs (44 to 46) which are arranged on a surface of the piezoelectric substrate along the direction of surface wave propagation, the IDT (44) being inverted in phase with respect to the other IDT (46) while these IDTs (44) and (46) being connected in series to each other through the ground potential, thereby balancing inputs or outputs.
