Surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter includes SAW resonators, a discharge
induction pattern is provided between a ground and at least one of a
signal input terminal and a signal output terminal, and the discharge
induction pattern has multiple gaps that are narrower than gaps that
exist inside electrode patterns of the SAW resonators. Since the
discharge induction pattern has multiple gaps that are narrower than gaps
that exist inside electrode patterns of the SAW resonators, it is
possible to induce the electrostatic discharge without fault. The
multiple gaps are provided so as to protect the SAW resonators against
multiple times of electrostatic discharge.
