Abstract

A first filter of a multiplexer includes serial resonators and parallel resonators that are acoustic wave resonators. A first of the serial resonators that is closer to a common terminal than the other serial resonators is connected to the common terminal without the parallel resonators interposed therebetween. Each of the elastic wave resonators includes a substrate having piezoelectricity, an IDT electrode provided on the substrate, and a dielectric layer provided on the substrate to cover the IDT electrode. A thickness of the dielectric layer of the first serial resonator is smaller than a thickness of each of the dielectric layers of the remainder of the elastic wave resonators.
