摘要:
A high frequency filter comprises thin film piezoelectric resonators connected in series between the input/output nodes, thin film piezoelectric resonators connected in parallel between the input/output nodes and a variable voltage circuit adapted to change the voltage applied to at least either the thin film piezoelectric resonators connected in series or the thin film piezoelectric resonators connected in parallel. The resonance characteristic of at least either the thin film piezoelectric resonators connected in series or the thin film piezoelectric resonator connected in parallel is shifted by changing the voltage applied by the variable voltage circuit to change the pass characteristic of the filter.

To provide a miniaturized voltage controlled oscillator which can oscillate simultaneously a plurality of frequencies and has high stability of frequency, an excellent low phase noise, small variation per hour, and a wide frequency variable range. A thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator using single crystal ferroelectric material equal to or smaller than 10 &mgr;m in thickness whose direction of polarization is aligned to the direction of thickness is utilized as the piezoelectric member. The voltage controlled oscillator having large changing rate of the oscillation frequency of 0.01%/V or more and an extremely small phase noise is provided by changing the voltage applied to the electrodes.

摘要:
A filter control apparatus which controls a frequency variable filter capable of changing a transmission band width by controlling a capacitance of at least a portion of a plurality of voltage variable capacitors connected in series and parallel to a resonator has an input unit, and a filter control circuit. The input unit inputs a reference signal with a predetermined reference frequency to the frequency variable filter. The filter control circuit controls a center frequency and the transmission band width of the frequency variable filter by detecting a phase change generated when the reference signal passes through the frequency variable filter and by variably controlling the capacitance of at least a portion of the voltage variable capacitor by using a direct voltage in proportion to the phase change.

A voltage controlled oscillator includes a resonator configured to resonate with an initial oscillation frequency during starting period of oscillation and a steady oscillation frequency during a steady state oscillation. The resonator includes a film bulk acoustic resonator having a series resonance frequency higher than the steady oscillation frequency. A negative resistance circuit configured to drive the resonator, has a positive increment for reactance in the steady state oscillation compared with reactance in the starting period.
