  The capacitor C5 (see FIG. 1) of the trap resonator LC5 is configured such that the capacitor electrode layer 55i and the extraction electrode layer 24j face each other with the dielectric layer 11i interposed therebetween.

  The inductor L5 (see FIG. 1) of the trap resonator LC5 includes line electrode layers 35e and 35f and via electrodes 69 and 70. The via electrode 69 electrically connects one end of the line electrode layers 35e and 35f and the capacitor electrode layer 55i. The via electrode 70 electrically connects the other end of the line electrode layers 35e and 35f and the extraction electrode layer 24j. As described above, the loop shape has a connection point between the capacitor electrode layer 55i and the via electrode 69 as a start point, and a connection point between the lead electrode layer 24j and the via electrode 70 via the line electrode layers 35e and 35f. An inductor L5 is formed.

  The extraction electrode layer 38 g is connected to the via electrode 70. The extraction electrode layer 38g is connected to the output electrode layers 23a and 23k and the extraction electrode layer 24j on the side surface of the stacked body.

  The connection electrode layer 40h electrically connects the via electrode 67 constituting the inductor of the LC parallel resonator LC4 and the via electrode 69 constituting the inductor of the trap resonator LC5.

  The coupling electrode layer 41h is opposed to the capacitor electrode 52i constituting the capacitor of the LC parallel resonator LC2, the capacitor electrode 54i constituting the capacitor of the LC parallel resonator LC4 via the dielectric layer 11h, and the coupling capacitor C24. (See FIG. 2). The LC parallel resonators LC2 and LC4 are coupled to each other via a coupling capacitor C24.

  In the present embodiment, the trap resonator LC1 and the LC parallel resonator LC2 are electromagnetically coupled to each other. The LC parallel resonator LC4 and the trap resonator LC5 are electromagnetically coupled to each other. For this reason, it is possible to suppress impedance mismatch between the trap resonators LC1 and LC5 and the LC parallel resonator.

  More specifically, the loop shape of the inductor of the trap resonator LC1 and the inductor of the LC parallel resonator LC2 when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the plane including the two via electrodes 61 and 62 of the inductor of the trap resonator LC1. The loop shape is at least partially overlapped. Thereby, the trap resonator LC1 and the LC parallel resonator LC2 are coupled. Similarly, at least a part of the loop shape of the inductor of the LC parallel resonator LC4 and the loop shape of the inductor of the trap resonator LC5 overlap each other. Thereby, the LC parallel resonator and the trap resonator LC5 are coupled.

  In the present embodiment, the height in the stacking direction of the loop shape of the LC parallel resonator LC2 closest to the trap resonator LC1 in the stacked body is the height in the stacking direction of the loop shape of the trap resonator LC1. The same. Here, the height of the loop shape in the stacking direction means the length of the longest via electrode among the plurality of via electrodes constituting the loop shape. Therefore, the height of the trap resonator LC <b> 1 in the stacking direction of the loop shape is the length of the via electrode 62. The height of the LC parallel resonator LC2 in the stacking direction of the loop shape is the length of the via electrode 64. At this time, the line electrodes 31e and 32e are formed on the same dielectric layer 11e, and the line electrodes 31f and 32f are formed on the same dielectric layer 11f.

  Similarly, in the present embodiment, the height of the LC parallel resonator LC4 in the stacking direction of the loop shape is the same as the height of the trap resonator LC5 in the stacking direction of the loop shape.

  The inductors of the trap resonators LC1 and LC5 and the inductors of the LC parallel resonators LC2 and LC4 closest to the trap resonators LC1 and LC5 may have different heights in the stacking direction. The degree of coupling can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the inductors in the stacking direction.

  The signal input from the extraction electrode layer 22j passes through the trap resonator LC1 in the order of the via electrode 62 → the line electrode layer 31e, 31f → the via electrode 61. That is, when viewed from the side surface on the input terminal side (see FIG. 2), the signal flows in the direction opposite to the clockwise direction.

  In the LC parallel resonator LC2, the signal that has passed through the connection electrode layer 39h flows in the order of the via electrode 63 → the line electrode layer 32e, 32f → the via electrode 64. That is, when viewed from the side of the input terminal, the signal flows clockwise and forward.

  The LC parallel resonator LC3 is electromagnetically coupled to the LC parallel resonator LC2, and the signal flows toward the ground electrode layer 25j. Therefore, in the LC parallel resonator LC3, a signal flows in the order of the via electrode 66 → the line electrode layer 33c, 33d → the via electrode 65. That is, when viewed from the side surface on the input terminal side, the signal flows in the direction opposite to the clockwise direction.

  The LC parallel resonator LC4 is electromagnetically coupled to the LC parallel resonator LC3, and a signal flows toward the ground electrode layer 25. Therefore, in the LC parallel resonator LC4, a signal flows in the order of the via electrode 67 → the line electrode layer 34e, 34f → the via electrode 68. That is, when viewed from the side of the input terminal, the signal flows clockwise and forward.

  In the trap resonator LC5, the signal passing through the connection electrode layer 40h flows in the order of the via electrode 70 → the line electrode layer 35e, 35f → the via electrode 69. When viewed from the side surface on the input terminal side, the signal flows in the opposite direction to the LC parallel resonator LC4, that is, in the opposite direction to the clockwise direction.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the direction in which the signals of the trap resonator LC1 and the LC parallel resonator LC2 flow is opposite. Therefore, the trap resonator LC1 and the LC parallel resonator LC2 are in a state of strong capacitive coupling. Similarly, the LC parallel resonator LC4 and the trap resonator LC5 are also in a state of strong capacitive coupling.

  On the other hand, for example, in the trap resonator LC1 and the LC parallel resonator LC2, the connection electrode layer 39h may be formed so that the signal flows in the same direction. In this case, the trap resonator LC1 and the LC parallel resonator LC2 are in a strong inductive coupling state.

  When the LC parallel resonators LC2, LC3, and LC4 are designed with an impedance of 50Ω, and the impedance of the trap resonator is larger than 50Ω, the coupling between the LC parallel resonator and the trap resonator should be capacitive. Thus, it is possible to reduce the impedance and eliminate the impedance mismatch. On the other hand, when the impedance of the trap resonator is smaller than 50Ω, the impedance can be increased by making the coupling between the LC parallel resonator and the trap resonator inductive.

  In the present embodiment, the adjustment electrode layer 43b is provided on the dielectric layer 11b. The adjustment electrode layer 43b is connected to the ground electrode layers 25a, 27a, 25j, 25k, and 27k on the side surface of the multilayer body. The adjustment electrode layer 43b is formed on the opposite side in the stacking direction from the ground electrode layer 25j and the capacitor electrode layer 53i with reference to the line electrode layers 33c and 33d of the LC parallel resonator LC3. That is, the adjustment electrode layer 43b is located outside the loop shape formed by the line electrodes 33c and 33d and the via electrodes 65 and 66. The adjustment electrode layer 43b is formed so as to overlap the line electrode layers 32e, 32f, 33c, 33d, 34e, and 34f when viewed from the stacking direction. The adjustment electrode layer 43b is provided to adjust the pass frequency bandwidth of the band pass filter.

  FIG. 4 shows simulation waveform results of the attenuation characteristics and impedance characteristics of the bandpass filter according to the present embodiment. FIG. 4A shows a band including the three-stage LC parallel resonator described in FIGS. 1 to 3 and two trap resonators that are electromagnetically coupled to the LC parallel resonators at both ends of the three stages. It is about a pass filter. On the other hand, FIG. 4B is a configuration similar to FIG. 4A, but relates to a band-pass filter in which the LC parallel resonator and the trap resonator are not electromagnetically coupled.

  In FIG. 4B, the insertion loss of the pass band partially increases due to impedance mismatch between the input / output terminal and the LC parallel resonator. On the other hand, in FIG. 4A, since the impedance mismatch is eliminated, an increase in the insertion loss of the passband is eliminated. It can also be seen that the attenuation characteristics in the higher frequency region than the pass band are also improved as compared to FIG.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, the LC parallel resonator and the trap resonator inductors are electromagnetically coupled to each other by overlapping a part of the LC parallel resonator loop shape and a part of the trap resonator loop shape. Explained an example. In the present embodiment, an example in which the capacitors of the LC parallel resonator and the trap resonator are electromagnetically coupled to each other via the coupling electrode layer will be described. Description of parts common to the first embodiment is omitted.

  FIG. 5A is a plan view of the dielectric layer showing the positional relationship between the capacitor electrode and the coupling electrode. In the present embodiment, in addition to the configuration shown in the first embodiment, the coupling electrode layer 42h is provided on the dielectric layer 11h (not shown). Note that the connection electrode layer 39h (see FIG. 3) existing in the bandpass filter of the first embodiment is not necessary in this embodiment. The coupling electrode layer 42h is opposed to the capacitor electrode 51i of the trap resonator LC1 and the capacitor electrode 52 of the trap resonator LC2 via the dielectric layer 11h, and constitutes a coupling capacitance.

  FIG. 5B is an equivalent circuit diagram of the configuration shown in FIG. FIG. 5B shows a coupling electrode layer 42h and a capacitor electrode 51i of the trap resonator LC1 between the trap resonator LC1 and the LC parallel resonator LC2 as compared with the equivalent circuit of the first embodiment of FIG. Are different from each other in that there is a coupling capacitor C12a configured so that the coupling electrode layer 42h and the capacitor electrode 52i of the LC parallel resonator LC2 are opposed to each other. As described above, impedance mismatch between the input / output terminal and the LC parallel resonator can also be prevented by configuring the capacitance between the trap resonator and the LC parallel resonator. The sizes of the coupling capacitors C12a and C12b can be adjusted by adjusting the position and size of the coupling electrode layer 42h in FIG.

  In this embodiment, the example in which the capacitors C12a and C12b are provided between the trap resonator on the input terminal side and the LC parallel resonator has been described. A capacitor may be provided between the trap resonator on the output terminal side and the LC parallel resonator.

  Further, the present embodiment is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present embodiment.
