IMPROVED DESIGN OF MICROWAVE ACOUSTIC WAVE FILTERS

摘要

An acoustic microwave filter comprises an input and an output, and a plurality of acoustic resonators coupled between the input and the output. The difference between the lowest resonant frequency and the highest resonant frequency of a plurality of resonators in the filter is at least 1.25 times the frequency separation of the resonator with the highest resonant frequency in the plurality of resonators. Another acoustic microwave filter comprises an input and an output, and a plurality of acoustic resonators coupled between the input and the output to form a passband. The frequency difference between a local minimum or a local maximum of a return loss magnitude of the acoustic microwave filter and the edge of the passband is at least once the frequency separation of the resonator with the highest resonant frequency.
