Abstract

A balanced type filter includes at least one balanced type terminal. At least one predetermined reactance element is connected between the balanced type terminal and another terminal. A parallel resonance circuit is formed by parasitic components existing between the balanced type terminal and the other terminal, and the reactance element. The other terminal is of balanced type or unbalanced type.

Claims (17)

1. A balanced type filter comprising at least one balanced type terminal,

wherein at least one predetermined reactance element is connected between said balanced type terminal and another terminal, and

a parallel resonance circuit is formed by parasitic components existing between said balanced type terminal and said another terminal, and said reactance element.

2. The balanced type filter according to claim 1 , wherein said another terminal is a balanced type terminal.

3. The balanced type filter according to claim 1 , wherein said another terminal is an unbalanced type terminal.

4. The balanced type filter according to claim 1 , wherein the resonance frequency of said parallel resonance circuit is set in the pass band.

5. A communication device comprising:

transmission/reception means of performing transmission and/or reception; and

the balanced type filter according to claim 1 filtering a send signal to be used in said transmission and/or a receive signal to be used in said reception.

6. A balanced type filter comprising an input terminal and an output terminal,

wherein either: 1) said input terminal is a balanced type terminal and said output terminal is an unbalanced type terminal, or 2) said input terminal is an unbalanced type terminal and said output terminal is a balanced type terminal, and

a reactance element is electrically connected, in parallel to said balanced type filter, between said input terminal and said output terminal, and

wherein a parallel resonance circuit is formed by parasitic components existing between said input terminal and said output terminal, and said reactance element.

7. The balanced type filter according to claim 6 , wherein the resonance frequency of said parallel resonance circuit is set in the pass band.

8. A communication device comprising:

transmission/reception means of performing transmission and/or reception; and

the balanced type filter according to claim 6 , filtering a send signal to be used in said transmission and/or a receive signal to be used in said reception.
