DYNAMIC BAND STEERING FILTER BANK DIE
Disclosed is a filter bank die having a first acoustic wave (AW) filter having a first antenna terminal and a first filter terminal, and a second AW filter having a second filter terminal, and a second antenna terminal coupled to the first antenna terminal to effectively diplex signals that pass through the first AW filter and the second AW filter.
Acoustic wave filter, multiplexer, and communication apparatus
An acoustic wave filter includes a first signal terminal, an antenna terminal, a ladder-type filter connected between the first signal terminal and the antenna terminal and including one or more serial resonators and one or more parallel resonators connected in a ladder shape, and a capacitor part and an inductor part which are connected in series between the first signal terminal and a reference potential.
BAW RESONATOR ARRANGEMENT WITH RESONATORS HAVING DIFFERENT RESONANCE FREQUENCIES AND MANUFACTURING METHOD
In at least one embodiment, the electric component comprises a first BAW-resonator (1), a second BAW-resonator (2) electrically connected to the first BAW-resonator and a carrier substrate (3) with a top side (30) on which the BAW-resonators are arranged. The first and the second BAW-resonator each comprise a bottom electrode (11,21) and a top electrode (12,22). The bottom electrodes are in each case located between the carrier substrate and the respective top electrode. A first piezoelectric layer (13) is arranged between the top electrode and the bottom electrode of the first BAW-resonator and laterally protrudes from the first BAW-resonator. The second BAW-resonator is mounted on the first piezoelectric layer in a region laterally next to the first BAW-resonator and comprises a second piezoelectric layer (23) between its top electrode and its bottom electrode. The two piezoelectric layers may have different thickness to realize resonators with different resonance frequencies on the same die.
