Abstract

In a resonator-type surface acoustic wave filter comprising a lithium tantalate substrate, lithium niobate substrate or lithium tetraborate substrate having a cut plane of high velocity, the direction of propagation of surface acoustic waves is set within the range of (40 deg to 90 deg, 40 deg to 90 deg, 0 deg to 60 deg) as expressed in Eulerian angles, and the capacitance Cos of the series resonators and the capacitance Cop of the parallel resonators are set within a predetermined range formulated with the center frequency taken as a parameter. Optimum ranges of the required design parameters are thus clarified to assure the resonator-type surface acoustic wave filter of higher performance.
