Abstract

A band filter is provided which can freely set the bandwidth and blocking characteristic without any need for a high level designing and adjustment. To this end, a surface acoustic wave device is so constructed as to connect a main filter Fm and sub-filter Fs in a parallel array. Here, relative to a frequency area corresponding to a passband of the main filter Fm the frequency-attenuation amount characteristic of the sub-filter Fs has a blocking band and, relative to a slope portion formed outside a passband of the main filter Fm, the frequency-attenuation characteristic of the sub-filter Fs has a rising area constituting a passband and signals involved provide an opposite-phase relation.
