In other words, the IDT electrode 121A outputs a non-inverted signal s0 that does not invert the phase of the unbalanced signal s.
- the number of ground electrode fingers 19G disposed between the signal connection electrode fingers 19S of the IDT electrode 121B and the signal connection electrode fingers 19S of the IDT electrode 121C is 1 (odd number). Accordingly, the signal connection bus bar 17S of the IDT electrode 121C outputs the non-inverted signal s0.

- the number of ground electrode fingers 19G between the plurality of signal connection electrode fingers 19S of the central IDT electrode 151B and the plurality of signal connection electrode fingers 19S of the adjacent IDT electrode 151A is 1 (odd number). ing. Therefore, the signal connection bus bar 17S of the IDT electrode 151A outputs a signal having the same phase as the signal input to the signal connection bus bar 17S of the IDT electrode 151B. In other words, the IDT electrode 151A outputs a non-inverted signal s0 that does not invert the phase of the unbalanced signal s.

ESD is likely to occur between the bus bar 17S. This is because when static electricity flows from the input terminal 5, the current escapes to both ends of the signal connection bus bar 17S of the IDT electrode 151B, whereas when static electricity flows from the output terminal 29A or 29B, the current flows to the IDT. This is because it tends to concentrate on one end of the electrode 151A or 151C (on the ground bus bar 17G side of the IDT electrode 151B) and escape easily.
- the interval between the bus bar 17S of the IDT electrode 151A and the ground bus bar 17G of the IDT electrode 151B is narrower than the interval between the reflector 13 and the signal connection bus bar 17S of the IDT electrode 151A.

ESD can be effectively suppressed while minimizing leakage. Moreover, compared with the case where the floating member 23 is provided on both the input side and the output side as in the third embodiment, the floating member 23 can be easily enlarged in the propagation direction D1.
- a SAW resonator may be arranged in the middle of the output-side signal line 8.
