Patent number: 5307034Abstract: Since split electrodes are disposed along the x-axis of an AT cut quartz crystal plate on its ultrathin vibratory portion formed integrally with a thick frame-like marginal portion surrounding it, desired acoustic coupling can be obtained although the split electrodes are disposed closely to such an extent as not to cause shorting between them. It is therefore possible to obtain, with a satisfactory yield, filter elements which have center frequencies in the range greater than about ten megahertz and sufficiently wide passbands.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1992Date of Patent: April 26, 1994Assignee: Toyo Communication Equipment Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takao Morita, Osamu Ishii, Takebumi Kurosaki
