Abstract

A surface acoustic wave device includes: a substrate; a pair of reflection electrodes that are formed on the substrate; and drive electrodes that are interposed between the reflection electrodes. In this surface acoustic wave device, the pitches in each of the reflection electrodes vary according to a predetermined variation pattern. With this structure, the suppression on spurious signals and the shape factor (the sharpness of the cut-off region of the pass band) can be improved at the same time.
