In accordance with a representative embodiment, a BAW resonator structure, comprises a first BAW resonator, comprising: a first lower electrode having a first electrical resistance; a first upper electrode having a second electrical resistance; and a first piezoelectric layer disposed between the first lower electrode and the first upper electrode. The BAW resonator structure also comprises a second BAW resonator, comprising: a second lower electrode having the second electrical resistance; a second upper electrode having the first electrical resistance; and a second piezoelectric layer disposed between the second lower electrode and the second upper electrode. The BAW resonator structure also comprises an acoustic coupling layer disposed between the first BAW resonator and the second BAW resonator. The first electrical resistance is less than the second electrical resistance. An communication device comprising a coupled resonator filter (CRF) is also disclosed.
