Aspects of this disclosure relate to a multiplexer with a hybrid acoustic passive filter.

A first terminal of the first filter capacitor is coupled to the input terminal or the output terminal of the filter, a second terminal of the first filter capacitor is coupled to a terminal of the first ground via disposed in the substrate, and another terminal of the first ground via is coupled to a ground.

An exemplary tunable circuit includes an inductor coupled to a node and a first capacitor coupled to the node. The tunable circuit also includes a variable capacitor coupled to the node, such that a total capacitance of the tunable circuit depends on a fixed capacitance of the first capacitor and a variable capacitance of the variable capacitor. In an example, the inductor and the first capacitor are both included in a passive device and the variable capacitor is in a semiconductor device. The variable capacitor allows the total capacitance to be modified for the purpose of, for example, calibrating the capacitance to account for manufacturing variations, and/or adjusting to a frequency range of operation used by wireless devices in a region of the world. The first capacitor may be a higher quality capacitor providing a larger portion of the total capacitance than the variable capacitor.
