Abstract
It is possible to generate an additionally attenuation pole in a laminate type band pass filter without adding an attenuation circuit and improve the attenuation characteristics of the laminate type band pass filter by independently controlling the frequencies of the attenuation poles. A diplexer is realized by using at least such a filter. The laminate type band pass filter includes a plurality of first resonators adapted to resonate in a predetermined pass band and arranged in a laminate, the first resonators being mutually electromagnetic field coupled, each of the first resonators having a first inductor conductor, a second inductor conductor and a conductor to be capacitive-coupled to a grounding conductor, the second inductor conductor and the conductor to be capacitive-coupled to the grounding conductor forming a second serial resonator in each of the first resonators, the notch frequency of the second serial resonator being set in a frequency band higher than the resonance frequency band of the first resonator.
