A dual mode band-pass filter includes a metallic film for defining a
resonator, disposed on the first main surface of a dielectric substrate
having first and second main surfaces, or inside of the dielectric
substrate. An opening is formed in the metallic film. At least one ground
electrode is provided on the second main surface of the dielectric
substrate or inside of the dielectric substrate, so as to be opposed to
the metallic film through a dielectric layer. A pair of input-output
coupling circuits is connected to the metallic film.
