A first and a second longitudinally coupled resonator-type surface
acoustic wave filter are disposed on a piezoelectric substrate. One end
of a first IDT arranged at the middle of the first longitudinally coupled
resonator-type surface acoustic wave filter is connected to a first
unbalanced terminal, and one end of a first IDT arranged at the middle of
the second longitudinally coupled resonator-type surface acoustic wave
filter is connected to a second unbalanced terminal. Signal terminals of
second IDTs of the first and the second longitudinally coupled
resonator-type surface acoustic wave filter are connected to each other
with a first signal line. Third IDTs are connected to each other with a
second signal line. A capacitor is connected between the first and the
second signal line. The above arrangement provides a cascaded
longitudinally coupled resonator-type surface acoustic wave filter device
including an inter-stage capacitor is miniaturized.
