摘要:
A plurality of surface acoustic wave filters having different center frequencies is provided on a piezoelectric substrate. Either input terminals or output terminals, or both input terminals and output terminals of the surface acoustic wave filters are integrated. Of the surface acoustic wave filters, a surface acoustic wave filter having a higher center frequency is configured so as to suppress a spurious response in the proximity of the high-frequency side in or outside a passband in the filter characteristics of a surface acoustic wave filter having a lower center frequency, for example, such that the width or pitch of electrode fingers in at least one region of reflectors differs from that in other regions.

A SAW filter includes at least two IDTs arranged along a SAW propagation direction on a piezoelectric substrate and first and second reflectors sandwiching the IDTs. A group of electrode fingers of each of the first and second reflectors is interdigital-width weighted. Further, a method of interdigital-width weighting of the electrode fingers of the first reflector is different from that of interdigital-width weighting of the electrode fingers of the second reflector.

A surface acoustic wave apparatus includes three longitudinally-coupled-resonator-type interdigital transducers (IDTs) having a balanced-to-unbalanced conversion function, which are provided on a piezoelectric substrate in a direction in which a surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagates. Weighting is applied to at least one of the IDTs. For example, among the electrode fingers of the IDT located on the left side, an apodization-weighted electrode finger is provided for one of the electrode fingers positioned adjacent to the central IDT.
摘要:
A surface acoustic wave filter unit having three interdigital transducers arranged along the surface acoustic wave propagation direction is disposed on a piezoelectric substrate. An unbalanced signal terminal and balanced signal terminals are provided for the surface acoustic wave filter unit. At least one of the three interdigital transducers is out of phase relative to the other interdigital transducers. Reflectors are arranged so as to sandwich the three interdigital transducers therebetween. The reflectors are grounded. Thus, a surface acoustic wave filter having a balance-to-unbalance conversion function and having high balance between the balanced signal terminals is achieved.

A surface acoustic wave device includes interdigital electrodes for generating a surface acoustic wave and detecting the wave, which are provided on a piezoelectric substrate having piezoelectric properties. A signal line is arranged so as to be connected to the interdigital electrodes which are unbalanced-side electrodes. Balanced-signal terminals are arranged so as to be connected to the interdigital electrode which is a balanced-side electrode. A ground line is provided between a balanced-signal terminal and the adjacent signal line. A capacitance generated between the signal line and the balanced-signal terminal is minimized by the ground line. Thus, the balance degrees between the balanced-signal terminals are greatly improved.

A surface acoustic wave filter device, having a balanced-to-unbalanced conversion function, in which input/output impedances are different and in which the in-band degree of balance is satisfactory, is obtained. The surface acoustic wave filter device has a balanced-to-unbalanced conversion function, in which the spacing of input/output IDTs of a second surface acoustic wave filter element is larger by approximately half the wavelength of the surface-acoustic wave than that of a first surface acoustic wave filter element so that the phase is inverted, wherein the total of the electrostatic capacitance values of a plurality of IDTs of the second surface acoustic wave filter element is larger than the total of the electrostatic capacitance values of a plurality of IDTs of the first surface acoustic wave filter element.

A surface acoustic wave filter device has a balance-unbalance conversion function and substantially equal input impedance and output impedance so as to increase out-of-passband attenuation. The surface acoustic wave filter device includes an unbalanced signal terminal, first and second balanced signal terminals, and first and second surface acoustic wave filters having input and output impedances. In each filter, one of the input and output impedances is approximately four times the other impedance. Additionally, 2n−1 first surface acoustic wave filters are connected between the unbalanced signal terminal and the first balanced signal terminal, and 2n−1 second surface acoustic wave filters are connected between the unbalanced signal terminal and the second balanced signal terminal, where n is an integer of 1 or more. The second surface acoustic wave filters are 180 degrees out-of-phase with respect to the first surface acoustic wave filters.

A surface acoustic wave filter includes a longitudinally-coupled resonator-type surface acoustic wave filter having at least two interdigital transducers disposed on a piezoelectric substrate along the propagation direction of a surface acoustic wave, and at least one surface acoustic wave resonator connected between an input terminal and/or an output terminal and the longitudinally-coupled resonator-type surface acoustic wave filter. In this surface acoustic wave filter, a pass band is formed by utilizing at least one of the resonant modes of the longitudinally-coupled resonator-type surface acoustic wave filter and the inductance of the surface acoustic wave resonator.

A surface acoustic wave filter includes at least two series arm surface acoustic wave resonators provided in an series arm and at least one parallel arm surface acoustic wave resonator provided in a parallel arm. At least one of the series arm surface acoustic wave resonators has a plurality of anti-resonant points and a sub-resonant point located between the anti-resonant points. The sub-resonant point substantially matches an anti-resonant point of at least one of the remaining series arm surface acoustic wave resonators.
