A surface acoustic wave (SAW) device is provided with a piezoelectric substrate, an interdigitated transducer (IDT), and multiple dielectric layers. The IDT is over a top surface of the piezoelectric substrate and comprises first and second electrodes with interdigitated fingers.

The dielectric constant of the first higher k dielectric layer is higher than the dielectric constant of the first lower k dielectric layer.
Abstract:
A surface acoustic wave filter having compensated capacitive and inductive crosstalk between adjacent IDT input and output transducers includes electromagnetically coupled transducers split into partial transducers. The routing of the partial transducer pads is modified such that the flux directions of the magnetic couplings between the adjacent partial transducers are oppositely directed so that the total induced magnetic flux is zero. The partial transducers are connected in series or in parallel such that, in the case of symmetric operation, the crosstalk capacitances between adjacent pads and transducer surfaces are balanced at the corresponding port.
Abstract:
A surface acoustic wave filter includes a piezoelectric substrate, an exciting electrode formed on the piezoelectric substrate and exciting a surface acoustic wave, and a receiving electrode receiving the surface acoustic wave. Both the exciting and receiving electrodes are provided with interdigital electrode fingers having a period p. Either one of the exciting and receiving electrodes is constructed of a plurality of interdigital electrode sub-units having substantially the same electrode surface areas occupied by interdigital electrode fingers. The interdigital electrode sub-units are disposed in a direction perpendicular to a propagation direction of the excited surface acoustic wave and have a positional relation such that the interdigital electrode sub-units are offset to each other by (nnullnull)p, wherein n is an integer, in a direction parallel to the propagation direction of the surface acoustic wave.

Abstract:
An improved DMS filter with electrode structures between a first port and a second port is provided. Wiring junctions are realized in multilayer crossing with dielectric material in between. There are insulating patches (L2) between crossing conductor layers (L1,L3). Signal wirings may be realized with multiple conductor layers (L1, L3) to reduce wiring resistance and the upper conductor layer (L3) of the signal wiring may partly overlap the insulating patches (L2). The insulating patches (L2) may extend over the acoustic path to achieve temperature compensation.
Abstract:
A surface acoustic wave filter. The filter includes two filter tracks which are parallel to each other. Each track has an input interdigital transducer, reflector and output interdigital transducer. This distance between the input transducer and output transducer is the same in both tracks. The distance between the output transducer and reflector is different in the two tracks. The electrical connection is in opposite phase in either the inputs or outputs, but not both. Electrode fingers are arranged in groups of two and have widths and spacings related to the wavelength.
Abstract:
A surface acoustical wave (SAW) filter is provided by placing at least one pair resonator channels consisting of reflectors and input and output transducers on the surface of a suitable substrate, such as a piezo-electric crystal. One channel of the pair consists of an input transducer and an output transducer which are aligned in a path along which the SAW progresses. The two channels are identical except that the separation distance between the transducers and the reflectors, in one channel is slightly different than the corresponding distance in the other channel. This separation difference serves to broaden the passband for applications which require a broader passband than is obtainable with a single channel resonator filter. Differential detection of the SAW in one section with respect to the other channel is achieved by using a symetrically inverted output transducer, in one embodiment. In another embodiment an offset transducer is used to accomplish the differential sensing.
Abstract:
A surface-acoustic-wave filter for a channel selection tuning system of a television receiver includes at least two comb filter elements, each of which comprises an input transducer provided on a piezoelectric substrate and adapted to convert an input electrical signal into an elastic surface wave, and first and second output transducers disposed on the substrate for receiving the elastic surface wave propagating in the same direction from the input transducer. The first and second output transducers are positioned from the input transducer with different distances. The transducers of the two comb filter elements are so designed that the respective comb filter elements respond to frequencies of different program channel bands over for example VHF and UHF bands. The distances of the first and the second output transducers from the input transducer in the wave propagating direction are so predetermined that reciprocal of the difference in delay time between the electrical signals derived from the first and second output transducers is equal to a divisor of an interchannel frequency difference in the corresponding channel band.
Abstract:
In a composite filter device, a first acoustic wave resonator includes a functional electrode on a first main surface of a first piezoelectric substrate, and a wiring electrode is on the first main surface and is not connected to a signal potential. A support is on the first main surface and surrounds the first acoustic wave resonator. A second piezoelectric substrate is on the support and includes a third main surface closer to the support than a fourth main surface. A second acoustic wave resonator includes a functional electrode on the third main surface. The second acoustic wave resonator is a parallel-arm resonator higher in resonant frequency than any other parallel-arm resonator or a series-arm resonator lower in resonant frequency than any other series-arm resonator. The second acoustic wave resonator and the wiring electrode overlap each other when viewed in plan.
