A transversely coupled surface acoustic wave filter includes a surface acoustic wave substrate having opposing first and second end surfaces, and first and second interdigital transducers provided on the surface acoustic wave substrate. The first and second interdigital transducers define first and second surface acoustic wave resonators which use a wave including a shear horizontal wave as its main component. The first and second surface acoustic wave resonators are connected to define a transversally coupled resonator filter. The filter preferably has a relative dielectric constant E=∈s11/∈0 in the range of about 0 to about 3000 and the electromechanical coupling coefficient K is such that K2·∈s11/∈0 is in the range of about 0 to about 250. Also, the aperture length y is preferably within the range of: 0.945+5.49×exp(−E/366) ≧y≧2.46×exp(−E/219).
摘要:
A SAW resonator filter which generates Shear Horizontal type surface acoustic waves includes a piezoelectric substrate, and first and second resonators arranged on the piezoelectric substrate. The first and second resonators include first and second interdigital transducers having electrode fingers, respectively. The first and second interdigital transducers are acoustically coupled to form a filter, and are divided into a plurality of sub-interdigital transducer portions, respectively. By dividing the interdigital transducers to have multiple sub-IDT portions, the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient is reduced, thereby enabling the bandwidth to be made narrower. Further, the improvement in the electrode structure allows for the filter to use a piezoelectric substrate having excellent temperature characteristics, so that it is possible to achieve a SAW resonator filter having a narrow bandwidth and superior temperature characteristics. Moreover, when an edge reflection type SAW resonator filter using SH-type surface acoustic waves is made, it is possible to provide a compact bandpass filter having low insertion loss and excellent selectability.

A ladder filter includes a plurality of series arm resonators and a plurality of parallel arm resonators. The series arm resonators are connected in series to form a series arm of a ladder circuit and are located at a first integrated region. Each series arm resonator includes an edge-reflection surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator which has a piezoelectric material portion and a pair of edges thereof and utilizes a shear horizontal surface acoustic wave to be excited on the piezoelectric material portion. Each of the parallel arm resonators is connected in parallel between the series arm and a ground potential to form a parallel arm of a ladder circuit. Each of the parallel arm resonators includes an edge reflection SAW resonator which has a piezoelectric material portion with a pair of edges thereof and utilizes a shear horizontal surface acoustic wave to be excited on the piezoelectric material portion. The parallel arm resonators include a first group of at least two parallel arm resonators which are located at a second integrated region which is physically isolated from the first integrated region such that the shear horizontal surface acoustic wave excited on the piezoelectric material portion in the first integrated region does not interfere with the shear horizontal type surface acoustic wave excited in the second integrated region.

A free edge reflective-type surface wave resonator for reflecting SH-type surface waves between two confronting free edges of a piezoelectric substrate includes a piezoelectric substrate having two confronting free edges and an interdigital transducer having a plurality of electrode fingers which are weighted by a cross width weighting method or an electrode thinning method. The weighting of the electrode fingers is performed so that an attenuation pole of a main lobe of the weighted IDT is located outside of a frequency of an attenuation pole of a normal non-weighted IDT which has the same number of electrode finger pairs as the weighted IDT. The weighting of the electrodes is such that the main lobe of the weighted IDT and a plurality of resonance characteristics determined by the attenuation poles of the normal unweighted IDT are obtained.
