    摘要: Methods that create an array of BAW resonators by patterning a mass load layer to control the resonant frequency of the resonators and resonators formed thereby, are disclosed. Patterning the surface of a mass load layer and introducing apertures with dimensions smaller than the acoustic wavelength, or dimpling the mass load layer, modifies the acoustic path length of the resonator, thereby changing the resonant frequency of the device. Patterns of variable density allow for further tuning the resonators and for individualized tuning of a resonator in an array of resonators. Patterning a reflowable material for the mass load layer, thereby providing a variable pattern density and distribution followed by elevating the temperature of the mass load layer above its melting point causes the material to liquefy and fill into the apertures to redistribute the mass load layer, thereby, upon subsequent cooling, providing resonators with a predetermined desired resonant frequency.

    摘要: A bulk acoustic wave resonator structure that isolates the core resonator from both environmental effects and aging effects. The structure has a piezoelectric layer at least partially disposed between two electrodes. The structure is protected against contamination, package leaks, and changes to the piezoelectric material due to external effects while still providing inertial resistance. The structure has one or more protective elements that limit aging effects to at or below a specified threshold. The resonator behavior is stabilized across the entire bandwidth of the resonance, not just at the series resonance. Examples of protective elements include a collar of material around the core resonator so that perimeter and edge-related environmental and aging phenomena are kept away from the core resonator, a Bragg reflector formed above or below the piezoelectric layer and a cap formed over the piezoelectric layer.

The transformer section has one or more primaries and a common secondary. The transformer primaries and secondary are acoustically coupled. The primaries or/and the secondary are made of switchable piezoelectric material, such that the acoustic coupling between any primary and the secondary can be switched on or off by electrical control, thereby implementing a switchable power combiner. The transformer secondary is connected to an antenna port. The power amplifier output section is segmented and connected to the transformer primaries. The power amplifier output section has a plurality of power amplifiers and a plurality of reactance elements, either fixed or variable. The switchable power combiner generates different linear load lines by switching on and off the coupling between any primary and the secondary.

    摘要: A tunable acoustic resonator device. The device has a piezoelectric medium as a first thin film layer and a tunable crystal medium as a second thin film layer. The tunable crystal medium has a first acoustic behavior over an operating temperature range under a condition of relatively low applied stress and a second acoustic behavior under a condition of relatively high applied stress. The acoustic behaviors are substantially different. The tunable crystal medium has a highly field-polarizable and lattice-deformable, substantially centrosymmetric structure over an operating temperature range under a condition of relatively low applied stress. The tunable crystal medium has a substantially non-centrosymmetric structure over said operating temperature range under a condition of relatively high applied stress. The dielectric permittivity of the tunable crystal medium is at least 100 at the relatively low applied stress. The tunable crystal medium is close to its ferroelectric instability but remains paraelectric throughout the operating temperature range of the device. The phase transition temperature of the tunable crystal medium from paraelectric to ferroelectric state is just below the operating temperature range.
