    Abstract: An RF switching circuit that incorporates a film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device and one or more capacitors that are used to vary the capacitance of the FBAR device to change the frequency range that is blocked by the FBAR device. When the RF switching circuit is in a first switching state, a first set of RF signals in a first frequency range is blocked by the RF switching circuit while RF signals of other frequencies are passed by the RF switching circuit. When the RF switching circuit is in a second switching state, a second set of RF signals in a second frequency range is blocked by the RF switching circuit while RF signals of other frequencies are passed by the RF switching circuit.

    Abstract: A filter and method of manufacturing a filter having a lattice arrangement that efficiently utilizes substrate space. An embodiment of the invention is directed to a filter having a plurality of resonators disposed on a substrate, each resonator comprising a first electrode and a second electrode disposed vertically adjacent such that an acoustic cavity of a piezoelectric material is formed between each first electrode and each second electrode of each resonator, the first and second electrodes of each resonator electrically isolated from each other via the piezoelectric material. In this manner, the filter is realized without having to use any vias. Additionally, the resonators may be of a shape that allows each to be disposed close together such that some sides of each of the resonators are parallel to each other. Thus, substrate space can be preserved even further.

    Abstract: An apparatus including vertically separated acoustic resonators are disclosed. The apparatus includes a first acoustic resonator on a substrate and a second acoustic resonator vertically separated above the first acoustic resonator. Because the resonators are vertically separated above another, total area required to implement the resonators is reduced thereby savings in die size and cost are realized. The vertically separated resonators are supported by standoffs that are fabricated on the substrate, or on a resonator.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the film acoustically-coupled transformer (FACT) includes a decoupled stacked bulk acoustic resonator (DSBAR) having a lower film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) an upper FBAR stacked on the lower FBAR, and, between the FBARs, an acoustic decoupler comprising a layer of acoustic decoupling material. Each FBAR has opposed planar electrodes with a piezoelectric element between them. The FACT additionally has first terminals electrically connected to the electrodes of one FBAR and second terminals electrically connected to the electrodes of the other FBAR. Another embodiment has decoupled stacked bulk acoustic resonators (DSBARs), each as described above, a first electrical circuit interconnecting the lower FBARs, and a second electrical circuit interconnecting the upper FBARs. The FACT provides impedance transformation, can linking single-ended circuitry with balanced circuitry or vice versa and electrically isolates primary and secondary. Some embodiments are additionally electrically balanced.
