Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress the generation of unnecessary spurious wave based on a bulk wave resonance by providing at least a pair of comb-line electrodes having plural electrode fingers inserted mutually into a piezoelectric substrate, and inclining one side face of the piezoelectric substrate from the surface vertical to the direction in which the electrode fingers is extended. CONSTITUTION:A piezoelectrid substrate 11 is formed like a plane, and one side face 11c among a pair of side faces thereof 11c, 11d is formed so as to go away from a bus bar 13b as it reaches the end face 11b side from the 11a side. Thus, in the cass a bulk wave excited between bus bars 12b, 13b is reflected by the side face 11c, it does not go straight on to the side of the other side face 11d, but is scattered to the end face 11b side. Therefore, between the side faces 11c, 11d, the standing wave of the bulk wave scarcely stands, and the resonance of the bulk wave is suppressed thereby. Accordingly, the impedance frequency characteristic in which unnecessary spurious waves based on the resonance of the bulk wave in a high frequency area side from an antiresonance frequency are scarcely generated is obtained.
