Therefore, even between the stages, the space between the second wirings 93 to 95 or the bus bar connected to the signal potential and the first wiring 62 is formed in the bus bar forming region, so that the space can be reduced. it can.
- the first wiring 62 is connected to a reference potential or a ground potential.
- connection with the reference potential can be realized by connecting with the reference potential provided on the substrate on which the acoustic wave device is mounted.
- the 1st wiring 62 has a cyclic
- the length of the notch 62B in the Z direction in FIG. 18, that is, the length of the cut portion, is desirably 5 times or less the line width of the first wiring 62 when the piezoelectric substrate is viewed in plan.
- the line width refers to a dimension W in a direction orthogonal to the annular extending direction of the annular first wiring 62.
- the input / output terminals of the elastic wave device may be not only unbalanced-unbalanced but also unbalanced-balanced or balanced-balanced.
