A bridge-T filter is disclosed. In one aspect, the bridge-T filter may include one or more inductors associated with acoustic resonators to assist in providing out-of-band rejection while improving fractional bandwidth of the filter. In specific aspects, the additional inductors may be placed in series or parallel to the acoustic resonators. The improved fractional bandwidth and better out-of-band rejection reduces unwanted signals and improves the user experience.

A device configured to support different numbers of outputs. The device includes an input port configured to receive an input signal. The device also includes a first transmission line characterized by a first characteristic impedance and coupled to a first output port. A switch is configured to either connect or disconnect the first transmission line to the input port. The device also includes a second transmission line characterized by a second characteristic impedance and coupled between the input port and a second output port. A controller is configured to activate the first switch to set a two-output mode or to deactivate the first switch to set a one-output mode. The second characteristic impedance is configured to be the same as the first characteristic impedance at the two-output mode or configured to be reduced to 1/{square root over (2)} of the first characteristic impedance at the one-output mode.

Techniques for isolation between filters using inductive coupling cancellation are disclosed. An apparatus includes a first filter including a first plurality of inductors and a second filter including a second plurality of inductors. The first and second filters are implemented physically adjacent to one another. First and second ones of the first plurality of inductors and a first one of the second plurality of inductors are polarized in a first direction, while a second one of the second plurality of inductors is polarized in a second direction opposite that of the first direction. The second one of the second plurality of inductors is physically adjacent to one of the first and second ones of the first plurality of inductors such that magnetic coupling currents induced into one another are canceled.

A filter apparatus includes input and output terminals, a ground terminal, a ground electrode connected to the ground terminal, a plate electrode, and first to four lines. A multilayer body of the filter includes a first and second main surface. The input and output terminals and the ground terminal are provided on the second main surface. The plate electrode is closer to the first main surface than the ground electrode. The first line is electrically connected to the input terminal and the plate electrode. The second line is electrically connected to the output terminal and the plate electrode. The first line is capacitively coupled to the second line. When the multilayer body is viewed in a plan view from a layering direction, the plate electrode covers a portion of a space providing capacitive coupling between the first line and the second line.

An electronic component that can suppress occurrence of problems such as electrochemical migration. An electronic component includes an insulator where a plurality of insulating substrates, each being provided with a side electrode and an inner electrode, are placed upon each other; and outer electrodes that are electrically connected to the side electrodes and that are provided at side surfaces of the insulator. The plurality of insulating substrates are each further provided with dummy electrodes that are disposed on a corresponding one of two sides of the side electrode with an insulating portion being interposed therebetween when viewed from a placement direction. The outer electrodes are electrically connected to the dummy electrodes at the side surfaces of the insulator.
