1. A dielectric filter, comprising:
a cuboid laminated body comprising a plurality of dielectric layers laminated in a lamination direction, the cuboid laminated body having a first side surface and a second side surface perpendicular to a first direction orthogonal to the lamination direction;
a first plate electrode and a second plate electrode disposed to be spaced apart from each other in the lamination direction on an inside of the laminated body;
a first terminal and a second terminal disposed on the first side surface and the second side surface of the laminated body, respectively, and connected to the first plate electrode and the second plate electrode;
a plurality of resonator portions disposed side by side in a second direction orthogonal to the lamination direction and the first direction in a region between the first plate electrode and the second plate electrode in the laminated body; and
a plurality of capacitor portions disposed to face the plurality of resonator portions, respectively, in the first direction in a region between the plurality of resonator portions and the second terminal in the laminated body, wherein:
each of the plurality of resonator portions comprises a plurality of resonant electrode elements laminated in the lamination direction, is connected to the first terminal, and is spaced apart from the second terminal;
each of the plurality of capacitor portions comprises a plurality of capacitive electrode elements laminated in the lamination direction, is connected to the second terminal, and provides a capacity between each of the capacitor portions and each of the resonator portions facing each of the capacitor portions in the first direction;
the plurality of resonant electrode elements in each of the resonator portions are provided such that all or some of at least one of facing ends and side surfaces, the facing ends facing the plurality of capacitive electrode elements, the side surfaces being perpendicular to the second direction, do not overlap with each other when viewed in a planar view from the lamination direction; and
the plurality of capacitive electrode elements in each of the capacitor portions are provided such that a distance between a resonant electrode element and a capacitive electrode element is substantially constant in each layer in the lamination direction, the resonant electrode element and the capacitive electrode element facing each other in the first direction.
