A filter includes first and second line patterns each having a length
substantially equal to 1/2 of the wavelength of a pass-band frequency,
and a resonator that is interposed between the first and second line
patterns and is coupled therewith so that the first and second line
patterns have open stubs in which connection points between input/output
terminals and the first and second line patterns appear to be
short-circuited when viewed from ends of the first and second line
patterns.
