Abstract:
A DMS filter is disclosed, with a first and second inter-digital converter as signal input or output, arranged between reflector structures, whereby at least one acoustic track has a mid-converter split into part converters, symmetrically arranged about the perpendicular to the propagating direction. The DMS filter is linked to a housing with connector pads or pins in a symmetrical manner, such that an axially symmetrical connection layout is achieved.
Abstract:
To provide an acoustic wave filter device that includes longitudinally-coupled-resonator acoustic wave filters having a balanced-unbalanced conversion function and that is capable of increasing the amount of attenuation in an attenuation band and capable of improving the isolation characteristics when the acoustic wave filter device is used as a reception filter of a duplexer, an acoustic wave filter device includes an unbalanced terminal (7); first and second balanced terminals (8 and 9); first and second longitudinally-coupled-resonator acoustic wave filters (11 and 12) that are connected between the unbalanced terminal (7) and the first balanced terminal (8) and between the unbalanced terminal (7) and the second balanced terminal (9), respectively; a first parallel resonator (13) connected between the first balanced terminal (8) and a ground potential; and a second parallel resonator (14) connected between the second balanced terminal (9) and the ground potential. The electrostatic capacitance of the first parallel resonator (13) is different from the electrostatic capacitance of the second parallel resonator (14). Among the first parallel resonator (13) and the second parallel resonator (14), the wavelength of the first parallel resonator (13) having a relatively small electrostatic capacitance is made shorter than the wavelength of the second parallel resonator (14) having a relatively large electrostatic capacitance.
Abstract:
On a piezoelectric substrate, there are formed a plurality of longitudinally-connected resonator type elastic wave filter elements, which are cascade-connected so as to constitute an elastic wave filter. By reducing the adverse affect of the parasitic capacitance coming into the cascade connection between the longitudinally-connected resonator type elastic wave filter elements, it is possible to improve the impedance matching at the cascade connection point and improve VSWR at the elastic wave filter I/O terminal. The elastic wave filter (350) includes a piezoelectric substrate (300) having a cascade connection of two longitudinally-connected resonator type elastic wave filters (306, 312), each connecting three IDT (302, 303, 304; 308, 309, 310) formed along the propagation direction of the elastic wave. At least in one of the longitudinally-connected resonator type elastic wave filters (306, 311), the IDT (302, 304; 308, 310) have an electrode finger pitch smaller than the electrode finger pitch of the other IDT (303; 309).
