Abstract

A surface-acoustic-wave device includes at least first and second surface-acoustic-wave elements formed on a common piezoelectric substrate and cascaded with each other, each of the first and second surface-acoustic-wave elements including a plurality of interdigital electrodes having a plurality of electrode fingers overlapping with each other in correspondence to a path of a surface acoustic wave on the piezoelectric substrate, wherein the width of overlapping of the electrode fingers is changed between the first surface-acoustic-wave element and the second surface-acoustic-wave element.
