Definitions
- the present invention relates to a band-pass filter used in a wireless communication device such as a wireless LAN that performs wireless transmission between mobile communication devices such as mobile phones and electronic / electrical devices, and high-frequency components and communication devices using the same. .
- Wireless LANs are, for example, personal computers (PCs), PC peripherals such as printers and hard disks, faxes, standard televisions (SDTV), high-definition televisions (HDTVs), electronic devices such as mobile phones, automobiles and airplanes. It is used as a signal transmission means to replace wired communication.
- the high-frequency circuit used in such a wireless LAN multiband communication apparatus is one that can transmit and receive with two communication systems (for example, IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11b and / or IEEE802.11g) having different communication frequency bands.
- An antenna and a high frequency switch for switching the connection between the transmission side circuit and the reception side circuit are provided, and the transmission side circuit and the reception side circuit of the two communication systems are switched.
- a band-pass filter that selectively passes a signal in a predetermined band is an important circuit.
- the band pass filter is disposed between the front end of the antenna circuit, the transmission / reception circuit, and the like, and removes unnecessary waves outside the pass band.
- a bandpass filter requires not only steep filter characteristics in the vicinity of the pass band but also a high attenuation even in a band away from the pass band, such as a harmonic band. In addition, miniaturization and high performance are also required.
- WO 2008/066198 discloses a small multilayer bandpass filter that includes three resonators, and in which the resonance lines that form each resonator are connected in parallel with electrodes formed in a plurality of layers. Yes.
- the bandpass filter having such a configuration has excellent attenuation characteristics with low impedance and low insertion loss.
- the resonant line is composed of a plurality of transmission lines, and therefore electromagnetic coupling occurs between the transmission lines. Therefore, if the interval between the resonance lines is narrowed in response to a request for miniaturization, the electromagnetic coupling becomes too strong and the insertion loss increases. Thus, the bandpass filter of WO 2008/066198 cannot be miniaturized with low insertion loss.
- the resonance line is formed over a plurality of dielectric layers, there is also a problem that the arrangement of the resonance line in the stacking direction shifts due to stacking shift and the filter characteristics fluctuate.
- a first object of the present invention is to provide a bandpass filter having excellent attenuation characteristics not only in the vicinity of the pass band but also on the high frequency side, a high frequency component using the same, and a communication device.
- a second object of the present invention is to provide a band-pass filter that can be reduced in size with low loss, a high-frequency component using the band-pass filter, and a communication device.
- the bandpass filter of the present invention comprises two or more resonators disposed between two input / output terminals in a multilayer substrate composed of a plurality of dielectric layers, Each resonator is composed of a resonant line and a resonant capacitor connected to one end thereof, The capacitive electrode that forms the resonant capacitor and the resonant line are arranged in different dielectric layers via a planar ground electrode that covers the entire constituent part of the bandpass filter when viewed from the stacking direction, In each of the resonators to which the two input / output terminals are connected, the connection direction between the path between the resonance line and the resonance capacitor and the input / output terminal is closer to the resonance capacitor than the resonance line. It is in position.
- This configuration can shorten the via conductor from the input / output terminal to the resonant capacitor, and can reduce the parasitic inductance from the input / output terminal to the resonant capacitor.
- the impedance of the resonance capacitor approaches a short circuit on the high frequency side of the pass band, and a high attenuation is obtained.

- parasitic inductance is suppressed, and a high attenuation is obtained not only in the vicinity of the passband but also on the high frequency side.
- the two input / output terminals are connected to the path in a dielectric layer in which a capacitor electrode that forms a resonant capacitor is disposed.
- the input / output terminal and the resonant capacitor are directly connected without a via conductor, so that the parasitic inductance of the via conductor from the input / output terminal to the resonant capacity can be minimized, so that higher attenuation can be achieved on the high frequency side. Can be obtained.
- each resonance line is connected to each resonance capacitor via a via conductor, and the other end of each resonance line is connected to the ground electrode via a via conductor.

It is preferable that the dielectric layer is disposed on a different dielectric layer. With this configuration, the resonant line and the capacitive electrode are completely separated by the ground electrode, so that the parasitic capacitance between the resonant line and the capacitive electrode is reduced, and the bandpass filter can be widened and the attenuation can be increased.

- the part is preferably covered with a margin.
- “covering with a margin” means that both capacitive electrodes are arranged so that the opposing part of one capacitive electrode includes the opposing part of the other capacitive electrode inside as viewed from the stacking direction. Means. For example, when the capacitive electrode is rectangular, the opposing portion of one capacitive electrode is larger in width and length than the opposing portion of the other capacitive electrode. With this configuration, even if stacking misalignment occurs, the facing area of the capacitor electrode does not change, so that characteristic fluctuations can be suppressed.
- the resonance lines are arranged side by side so that adjacent ones are electromagnetically coupled, and each resonance line is configured by connecting both ends of a plurality of band-shaped conductor patterns formed over a plurality of layers. It is preferable that a part of the strip-like conductor pattern is disposed on the same dielectric layer and the remaining part is disposed on different dielectric layers so that adjacent resonance lines are shifted in the stacking direction. . Since this configuration weakens the coupling between adjacent resonant lines that have become different in level, the distance between the resonant lines can be reduced in order to reduce the size of the bandpass filter. Further, even if there is a stacking shift, there is little electromagnetic coupling between the layers of the adjacent resonance lines, so that characteristic fluctuation due to stacking shift is suppressed.
- the band-pass filter preferably has three or more parallel resonant lines that are shifted in the stacking direction. According to this configuration, the strip-like conductor patterns constituting the resonance line can be brought closer to each other, and the band-pass filter can be reduced in size. Further, even if there is a stacking deviation, electromagnetic coupling between layers of adjacent resonance lines can be reduced.
- the resonance lines may be sequentially shifted in the stacking direction, but it is more preferable that the resonance lines are alternately shifted in the stacking direction in order to reduce the number of layers necessary to configure the resonance line.
- the band-pass filter has a coupling capacitor for coupling a plurality of resonant lines, and the coupling capacitor is formed by facing a plurality of capacitive electrodes connected to the resonant line to be coupled, and the plurality of capacitors
- the electrode is preferably formed on a dielectric layer different from the dielectric layer on which the resonant line is formed via the ground electrode.

Since it is smaller than the facing portion (rectangular portion excluding the strip-like portion used for connection with the via conductor), the entire facing portion of the capacitive electrode 9 is completely sandwiched between the facing portions of the capacitive electrodes 7 and 11.

Since the portions of the capacitive electrodes 7 and 9 that intersect with the electrode non-forming portions 6a and 6c are thinner than the facing portions, fluctuations in characteristics can be suppressed even if there is a stacking deviation. Further, the opposing portion forming the capacitance of the capacitive electrodes 7 and 9 entirely overlaps the ground electrode 6.

In this way, a plurality of capacitive electrodes connected to the resonance line to be coupled (formed on a separate dielectric layer from the resonance line) are opposed to the additional capacitive electrode formed on another dielectric layer, thereby The coupling capacitance of the resonance line is formed.
- the coupling capacitance can be easily formed even if the interval between the resonance lines is narrow. Furthermore, since the directions of the outer resonators are the same, it is easier to arrange the jump capacitance between the input and output than when the directions of the resonators are alternate. As a result, unnecessary parasitic capacitance is reduced, and a wider bandpass and higher attenuation of the bandpass filter are achieved.
- the capacitor electrode 42 that forms the coupling capacitor is formed on the opposite side of the resonance line (the same side as the resonance capacitor) across the ground electrode 39, and is thus completely separated from the resonance line by the ground electrode.
- the capacitive electrode 42 is long so that both ends in the longitudinal direction are located outside the capacitive electrodes 43 and 46, and narrow in width so that both ends in the lateral direction are located inside the capacitive electrodes 43 and 46. With this configuration, characteristic fluctuations can be suppressed even when stacking misalignment occurs.
