Abstract
A high-frequency module includes a multilayer substrate, a filter substrate, a cover layer, a connection electrode, and inductors. The filter substrate includes a first principal surface on which an IDT electrode included in a filter unit is disposed, and the first principal surface faces a mounting surface of the multilayer substrate. The cover layer is spaced apart from and opposite to the first principal surface of the filter substrate. The connection electrode connects the multilayer substrate and the filter substrate. One of the inductors is connected between the filter unit and a first external connection terminal. Another one of the inductors is connected between the filter unit and the ground. The inductors are disposed inside the multilayer substrate. The inductors are inductively coupled to each other.
