摘要:
First through fourth longitudinally-coupled-resonator-type SAW filter devices (101-4) are formed on a piezoelectric substrate. Each SAW filter device includes three interdigital transducers (IDTs) (121-3/122,123,128) disposed in a SAW propagating direction, and reflectors (124,125/126,127) disposed such that they sandwich the IDTs therebetween. The SAW filter devices are provided with a balanced-to-unbalanced input/output function. The reflectors (124-5) of the first and second SAW filter devices (101-2) are different from those (126-7) of the third and fourth SAW filter devices (126-7) in at least one of the number, the pitch, the duty ratio, and the thickness of the electrode fingers of the reflectors.
摘要:
A surface acoustic wave apparatus comprises first to fourth surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter devices (1,3,2,4). The first and third SAW filter devices (1,2) are cascade-connected, the second and fourth SAW filter devices (3,4) are cascade-connected, a propagation path of the first SAW filter device (1) is partially overlapped with a propagation path of the second SAW filter device (3), and a propagation path of the third surface SAW filter device (2) is partially overlapped with a propagation path of the fourth SAW filter device (4). When the center-to-center distance between the first and second SAW filter devices (1,3) is indicated by d 1, the center-to-center distance between the third and fourth SAW filter devices (2,4) is indicated by d 2 , and a wavelength of a surface acoustic wave to be excited is indicated by the first through fourth surface acoustic wave filter devices (1, 3, 2, 4) are disposed so that the center-to-center distance d 1 is differentiated from the center-to-center distance d 2 by an amount equal to approximately (2n+1) x 0.5 A (n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on).
