Since the adjacent vias V3B and via V4B are both connected to the ground terminal GND via the flat plate electrodes PG1 and PG2 and vias VG1, VG2, VG3, VG4 and VG5, these two vias are shown in FIG. It can be thought of as one via, such as the broken via V34B in. Then, the first via and the second via are alternately arranged from the first end portion E1 to the second end portion E2 along the common electrode PC.
- a plurality of LC parallel resonators are connected to the band-shaped common electrode and connected to the ground terminal GND via the capacitor, and to the ground terminal GND without the capacitor.

- the Q value is affected by the air core diameter of the inductor in each resonator, that is, the via spacing. Specifically, the larger the air core diameter of the inductor in each resonator, the higher the Q value tends to be. Therefore, in the filter device, the vias are arranged so that the via spacing of each resonator is as wide as possible.
- the strength of the magnetic coupling between the resonators can be adjusted by the distance (interval) between the resonators, but in the case of a multi-stage filter device, the resonators are coupled to each other, and a specific resonator is used. Adjustment by the distance between the resonators may be difficult in design because the coupling state of other resonators may change when the distance between the resonators is changed. Therefore, the Q value may be low due to the simplicity of design, but a method of adjusting the coupling state by changing the via spacing is generally used. However, when the filter device is further miniaturized, the degree of freedom in arranging the vias is further limited, and there is a possibility that the desired filter characteristics cannot be realized.
- vias constituting the inductors of the plurality of LC parallel resonators RC1 to RC4 are connected to the common electrode PC and connected to the ground terminal GND via the capacitor.
- the "first via” to be connected and the “second via” connected to the ground terminal GND without a capacitor are arranged alternately along the common electrode PC.
- the coupling state between the resonators can be changed by adjusting the shape of the common electrode (for example, the line width or the line length).
- the via can be arranged at a position where the optimum Q value can be realized, so that it is possible to adjust the magnetic coupling between the resonators while suppressing the decrease in the Q value.

- each resonator is connected by a common electrode, and the shape of the common electrode is changed to obtain magnetic coupling between the resonators.
- the coupling state can be adjusted according to the desired filter characteristics. In this case, since it is not necessary to change the arrangement of the vias constituting the inductor in each resonator, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the Q value.

- the magnetic coupling between the resonator RC1 and the resonator RC3 can be strengthened.
- the wiring pattern PT6 connecting the resonator RC2 and the resonator RC4 approaches the open end side (that is, the via V2A side) of the resonator RC4, so that the shortest distance of the path from the via V2A to the via V34B is reduced.
- the magnetic coupling between the resonator RC2 and the resonator RC4 can be strengthened.

That is, the magnitude of the inductance value of the inductor connecting the resonators and the magnetic coupling between the resonators change in conjunction with each other. Therefore, for example, when it is desired to increase the inductance value between the resonators and further strengthen the magnetic coupling between the resonators, such as in a small filter device, the desired filter characteristics cannot be realized by such an adjustment method. Cases can occur.
- the inductance value between the resonators is adjusted by the line width W1 of the wiring patterns PT2 and PT6, and the magnetic coupling between the resonators is the connection position of the wiring patterns PT2 and PT6 (that is, that is).
