A bandpass filter having a bandpass width appropriate for UWB, a high
frequency module including the bandpass filter, and radio communication
device including both is provided. The bandpass filter including a
laminate composed of a plurality of dielectric layers 11; first and
second ground electrodes arranged on the bottom and top surfaces,
respectively, of the laminate; resonance electrodes 30a, 30b, and 30c
arranged in an inter-digital structure on a first inter-layer surface of
the laminate, one end of each of the resonance electrodes being grounded;
an input coupling electrode 40a arranged on an inter-layer surface
different from the first inter-layer surface of the laminate facing the
resonance electrode 30a of the input stage in the inter-digital type; and
an output coupling electrode 40b arranged on an inter-layer surface
different from the first inter-layer surface of the laminate to face the
resonance electrode 30b of the output stage. Accordingly, it can be
possible to achieve a bandpass filter that has a flat and low-loss pass
characteristic over the entire region of the broad passband that could
not be achieved by a band pass filter using the conventional 1/4
wavelength resonator.
