  • Publication number: 20220158611
    Abstract: A surface acoustic wave resonator arrangement comprises a piezoelectric substrate (100) and a surface acoustic wave resonator (110) which includes an interdigital transducer (111,112) disposed on the piezoelectric substrate (100). A trench (13 0) is disposed within the piezoelectric substrate (100) facing the resonator (110). Trench (130) causes reflected waves (143,144) in response to waves (141,142) leaking from the surface acoustic wave resonator. Trench (130) is configured such that the reflected acoustic waves (143,144) achieve phases at the edge (115) of the resonator (110) such that the accumulated phases of all the reflected waves received at edge (115) is zero or substantially zero, thereby avoiding constructive interference of the reflected waves with the acoustic waves resonating in the resonator. Thereby undesired acoustic coupling between resonators or influence of waves reflected at edges of the piezoelectric substrate or dicing lines is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20190288663
    Abstract: A filter with reduced plate modes is specified. Thereto, the filter has a transducer system (WS) with two or more electroacoustic split transducers (TW) connected in parallel that replace a conventional transducer (W). The static capacity of the transducer system corresponds to the sum of the static capacities of the split transducers. Each split transducer has a lower electroacoustic coupling of a desired mode than the transducer system. The transducer system has an electroacoustic coupling of a plate mode corresponding to the electroacoustic coupling of the plate mode of a split transducer.

  • Patent number: 9742052
    Abstract: A device for transmitting millimeter-wave signals between a microstrip formed on a circuit board and a waveguide, characterized by a housing which is soldered onto the circuit board with the aid of solder contacts and which contains a signal line, which is connected to the microstrip via a soldered connection suitable for use at high frequencies, and which connects this microstrip to a coupling point for the millimeter-wave signals, the coupling point facing the waveguide.

  • Patent number: 9437915
    Abstract: A line bridging element for two microstrip lines, each of which are configured to conduct electromagnetic waves having a wavelength in the millimeter wavelength range, including a dielectric resonator, including a first coupling point, which is configured to couple the line-conducted electromagnetic wave, which is carried in the first microstrip line, into the dielectric resonator, including a second coupling point, which is configured to decouple the electromagnetic wave coupled into the dielectric resonator into the first microstrip line. The invention also provides a method for manufacturing a line bridging element.
