Abstract
Abstract A piezoelectric resonance component which in view of an equivalent circuit comprises a series arm formed by one or more resonators (X s1 . . . X sn ) connected in series between input and output ends and one or more parallel arms including resonators (X p1 . . . X p (n-1)) connected to the series arm. The resonators (X s1 . . . X sn ) of the series arm are connected in parallel with parallel damping resistors (R s1 . . . R sn ). The resonators (X p1 . . . X p (n-l)) of the parallel arms are connected in series with series damping resistors (R p1 . . . R p (n-1)).
