An acoustic wave ladder filter (30) with lossy inductances (42) connected in parallel with resonators (40). Shunt sections (36,37) of the ladder filter (30) include impedance inverters having pass frequencies within the stopband of series resonators (33,34,35). The filter (30) additionally includes variable capacitors (44) connected in parallel with the inductances (42) to provide adjustment capabilities. The use of lossy inductances (42) actually increases effective coupling coefficient of the filter (30) and improves insertion loss thereby allowing improved design flexibility. |
