Abstract

In a fitting region for a SAW filter which includes langasite as its piezoelectric element, there are included an input side terminal electrode and an output side terminal electrode which are connected to an input terminal and to an output terminal of the SAW filter. To each of the terminal electrodes, at a position which is separated by just a predetermined distance from the fitting region of the SAW filter, there is connected a micro strip line which extends in mutually opposite directions along a direction which is parallel to the transmission direction of a frequency signal within the SAW filter. A slit is provided in the fitting region of the SAW filter and extends in a direction which intersects the transmission direction of the frequency signal within the SAW filter. A plurality of through holes are provided in the printed substrate and electrically connect together its surface and its rear surface which is grounded. Furthermore, there is provided a protective member which has a conductive surface and which is in contact with the surface of said filter, and said conductive surface of said protective member which is in contact with the surface of said filter is set so as to be of the same size as the surface of said filter, or so as to be smaller than it.

Claims (25)

1. A printed substrate for mounting a filter, comprising:

an input side connection terminal electrode that is connected to an input terminal of the filter and an output side connection terminal electrode that is connected to an output terminal of the filter, in a fitting region for said filter;

a slit pierced through said printed substrate in said fitting region for intersecting the straight line which joins said input side connection terminal electrode and said output side connection terminal electrode; and

a wiring connected to said input side connection terminal electrode, and a wiring connected to said output side connection terminal electrode, each of said wirings extending in a direction that is orthogonal to a transmission direction of an input signal within said filter up to an elbow position at equal to or less than 10 mm from said fitting region, and extending in a direction parallel to the transmission direction of the input signal within said filter from said elbow position.

2. The printed substrate according to claim 1 , wherein said slit extends in a direction which is orthogonal to the transmission direction of an input signal within said filter.

3. The printed substrate according to claim 1 , wherein a direction in which said slit extends intersects a direction in which each of said wirings extends from said elbow portion.

4. The printed substrate according to claim 1 , wherein a through hole is provided which electrically connects together a filter mounting surface of said printed substrate and a rear surface of said printed substrate which has been grounded.

5. The printed substrate according to claim 1 , wherein said filter utilizes langasite as its piezoelectric element, and allows signals of a predetermined frequency band to pass by taking advantage of surface elastic waves which are transmitted along a surface of said piezoelectric element.

6. An amplification device in a communication system, comprising the printed substrate according to claim 1 .

7. A distribution device in a communication system, comprising the printed substrate according to claim 1 .

8. A composition device in a communication system, comprising the printed substrate according to claim 1 .
