摘要： A method of designing an acoustic microwave filter in accordance with frequency response requirements comprises generating a modeled filter circuit design having a plurality of circuit elements comprising an acoustic resonant element defined by an electrical circuit model that comprises a parallel static branch, a parallel motional branch, and one or both of a parallel Bragg Band branch that models an upper Bragg Band discontinuity and a parallel bulk mode function that models an acoustic bulk mode loss. The method further comprises optimizing the modeled filter circuit design to generate an optimized filter circuit design, comparing a frequency response of the optimized filter circuit design to the frequency response requirements, and constructing the acoustic microwave filter from the optimized filter circuit design based on the comparison.

摘要： An acoustic filter comprises a piezoelectric layer, an acoustic resonator structure monolithically disposed on the piezoelectric layer, a lumped capacitive structure monolithically disposed on the piezoelectric layer and being electrically coupled to the acoustic resonator structure. The acoustic resonator structure comprises an arrangement of planar interdigitated resonator fingers, and each of the interdigitated capacitive fingers has an edge that is entirely continuous. No portion of the edge of each of the interdigitated capacitive fingers is parallel to any portions of edges of the interdigitated resonator fingers. Each of the interdigitated capacitive fingers may comprise a plurality of interdigitated capacitive sub-fingers, or each of the interdigitated capacitive fingers may have a length/width ratio of less than two.
