摘要:
In a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter including a substrate and an electrode formed on the substrate, the electrode includes a base layer, a first metal layer made of a metal consisting of Al or consisting mainly of Al, and having a given orientation relative to the substrate, a second layer for preventing the first metal layer from migration of Al atoms occurring in vertical to the substrate, and a third layer for adjusting a thickness of the layer. In this SAW filter having an arbitrary layer thickness, the layer hardly causes grain boundary diffusion, and grains of the layer can be made fine for effective resistance to stress. Thus, in this SAW filter, the migration of the Al atoms of the electrode that is associated with the SAW propagation-induced stress imposed on the electrode is inhibited. Accordingly, the filter exhibits excellent resistance against electric power.

A small-sized multi-frequency antenna duplexer using surface acoustic wave filters to be applicable to a plurality of frequencies. This antenna duplexer includes two surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters for transmission and reception having passing bands of mutually different frequencies, a phase shift substrate, and a package for accommodating them. The passing band of each antenna duplexer is mutually different from other's passing band. This multi-frequency antenna duplexer includes a plurality of antenna duplexers. In one package, transmitter surface acoustic wave filters, receiver surface acoustic filters, and phase shift substrates are mounted. Thus, the multi-frequency antenna duplexer are reduced in size.

A band switching filter includes a resonator circuit having a surface acoustic wave resonator, a switching element and an impedance element. The filter selectively passes or attenuates a signal through one of two pass bands using a single filter. The resonant frequency of the resonator circuit can be shifted to another frequency by selectively connecting the surface acoustic wave resonator to an impedance element using a switching element.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter which is used for cellular phones and other mobile communication equipment. The object of the present invention is to realize a SAW filter of which attenuation characteristics and pass characteristics can be set arbitrarily. The SAW filter of the present invention comprises comb-shaped electrodes facing each other disposed on the same piezoelectric substrate, at least two resonators with an input and output terminals, and an equivalent transmission line which is connected between an output terminal of a first resonator and an input terminal of a second resonator. The phase of the transmission line can be adjusted from 5 degrees to 175 degrees arbitrarily at the series resonance frequency of the resonators. This structure realizes a band-stop filter or a band-pass filter whose attenuation characteristics and pass characteristics can be set arbitrarily.

A SAW resonator includes an IDT electrode formed on a piezoelectric substrate and reflector electrodes disposed on both sides of the IDT electrode. The IDT electrode includes first finger-electrodes, second finger-electrodes and strip-line electrodes. The first and the second finger-electrodes do not overlap with each other but are acoustically coupled together by the strip-line electrodes. This acoustic coupling by the strip-line electrodes eliminates the need for a common bus-bar electrode, so that the loss caused by the resistance of the common bus-bar electrode can be reduced, and the SAW resonator can be downsized.
摘要:
An antenna duplexer capable of optimally decreasing the insertion loss and the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) at a center frequency and its vicinity in the pass band in transmitter-band of the device. The output port of transmitter surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filter (11) is electrically connected with phase shift circuit (13), to which receiver SAW filter (12) is also electrically connected. The transmitter and receiver SAW filters have different pass bands and attenuate the other pass band with each other. Phase shift circuit (13) shifts the phase of receiver SAW filter (12) in the transmitter-band. In addition, phase shift circuit (13) has the characteristic impedance in which the magnitude of the reflection coefficient at the center frequency in the transmitter-band of receiver SAW filter (12) is to be not less than 0.8 and the phase angle of reflection coefficient at the center frequency in the transmitter-band of receiver SAW filter (12) takes the range from 0° to 45°.
