Abstract

An LC high-pass filter circuit device includes an inductor defined by via holes formed in adjacent insulating sheets which are connected in the direction of stacking of the sheets so as to define a single trap inductor. Inductor via holes formed in another insulating sheet define separate high-pass filter inductors. The trap inductor and the high-pass filter inductors have axes which extend substantially perpendicularly to the planes of the insulating sheets. Each of the high-pass circuit inductors defines, in combination with a high-pass filter capacitor, a high-pass filter circuit, while the trap inductor defines, in combination with a capacitor, a trap circuit. The high-pass filter circuits and the trap circuit in combination define a small-sized LC high-pass filter circuit device which exhibits high Q value and which excels in frequency characteristics, as well as a laminated LC high-pass filter device, a multiplexer and a radio communication apparatus incorporating the LC high-pass filter circuit device.
