Title:
A New Low Loss SAW Filter Structure with Extremely Wide Bandwidth for Mobile Communication Systems
Abstract:
The authors present a low-loss surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filter with a dual-track configuration which is characterized by a novel arrangement of interdigital transducers (IDTs) and reflectors in each acoustic track as well as a special electrical connection of the IDTs. Broadband filter characteristics can easily be achieved by using chirped components. The inherently good stopband rejection of the new structure has been further improved by applying proper weighting techniques to the IDTs and reflectors. A filter with a relative bandwidth of 10
