Abstract

L'invention concerne un filtre à ondes acoustiques de surface à couplage longitudinal pourvu d'un premier résonateur (13), d'un deuxième résonateur (14) et d'un troisième résonateur (15), dans lequel : le deuxième résonateur (14) et/ou le troisième résonateur (15) comprend au moins trois zones ou plus ayant des pas de doigts d'électrode différents; le pas des doigts d'électrode dans une première zone qui est la plus proche du premier résonateur (13), parmi les trois zones ou plus, est le plus petit; et le pas des doigts d'électrode dans une deuxième zone qui est adjacente à la première zone, parmi les trois zones ou plus, est le plus grand.
