Abstract

A high frequency filter comprises thin film piezoelectric resonators connected in series between the input/output nodes, thin film piezoelectric resonators connected in parallel between the input/output nodes and a variable voltage circuit adapted to change the voltage applied to at least either the thin film piezoelectric resonators connected in series or the thin film piezoelectric resonators connected in parallel. The resonance characteristic of at least either the thin film piezoelectric resonators connected in series or the thin film piezoelectric resonator connected in parallel is shifted by changing the voltage applied by the variable voltage circuit to change the pass characteristic of the filter.
