An aperture length A1 of an interdigital electrode 14 and an aperture length A2 of an interdigital electrode 15 are designed different from each other in the output side and the aperture length A1 of the interdigital electrode 15 is selected to be smaller than the aperture length A1 of the interdigital electrode 14. The aperture length A2 of the interdigital electrode 12 is equal to that of the interdigital electrode 14 and the aperture length A2 of the interdigital electrode 13 is equal to that of the interdigital electrode 15. Thus, the coupling between the resonators is increased by having only to adjust the aperture sizes the setting thereof is facilitated and the degree of freedom of the design of the band width is considerably improved.

This circuit forms a bandpass filter by matching the input and output, the bandwidth of which is determined by the coupling coefficient k shown in FIG. If the coupling coefficient k is increased in order to increase the bandwidth of the laterally coupled resonator type surface acoustic wave filter, the width D of the common bus bar must be reduced. But,
When the width D is reduced, the DC resistance of the ground portion increases and the out-of-band suppression amount cannot be obtained sufficiently. Therefore, the width D of the bus bar
If the aperture length A of the interdigital electrode is reduced while keeping the value as is, the impedance becomes too high.
