Abstract

An electronic component includes first and second resonators provided within a layered substrate including stacked dielectric layers. The first resonator includes resonator-forming conductor layers of a first type and a second type. The resonator-forming conductor layers of the first type and the second type are reversed in relative positions of the short-circuited end and the open-circuited end, and are alternately arranged in the stacking direction of the dielectric layers. An input terminal is connected to all of the resonator-forming conductor layers of the first type. The second resonator includes resonator-forming conductor layers of a third type and a fourth type. The resonator-forming conductor layers of the third type and the fourth type are reversed in relative positions of the short-circuited end and the open-circuited end, and are alternately arranged in the stacking direction of the dielectric layers. An output terminal is connected to all of the resonator-forming conductor layers of the third type.
