Abstract

An acoustic wave filter device includes plural filter circuits between an input terminal and an output terminal. Plural inductors are connected in series in a series arm that connects the input terminal and the output terminal, and plural first acoustic wave resonators are connected between the series arm and a ground potential. Each of the filter circuits includes at least one of the inductors and one of the first acoustic wave resonators. A second acoustic wave resonator in the series arm connects adjacent filter circuits. The acoustic wave filter device has a pass band lower than a trap band, steep attenuation characteristics in a range from the pass band to the trap band, and is capable of providing a large amount of attenuation in the trap band.
