  • Publication number: 20220045663
    Abstract: A filter circuit comprises a main operating unit (MU) arranged in the series signal line providing most of the filter function of the filter circuit. A micro acoustic last series resonator (RLs) as a last element of the main operating unit in the series signal line is prone to excite a spurious mode that is damped with a final series capacitance (CEs) circuited between the last element and the antenna terminal (AT).

  • Patent number: 10756704
    Abstract: The aim according to the invention is to suppress a disturbing SH mode in a ladder-type filter. This aim is achieved in that the resonance frequency of the series resonator responsible therefor is moved and, at the same time, the pole zero distance of the series resonator is reduced by parallel connection with a capacitor. The antiresonance of the series resonator and therefore also the passband thus remain unchanged.

  • Patent number: 8125300
    Abstract: An electric filter has a band-pass filter that includes a track with acoustically coupled electroacoustic transducers. The filter includes a band-stop filter with at least one electroacoustic series element and at least one electroacoustic parallel element. The series element of the band-stop filter is connected in series to at least one of the transducers of the band-pass filter. The parallel element of the band-stop filter is arranged in a shunt arm that is electrically connected to at least one of the transducers of the band-pass filter. In at least one of the electroacoustic elements of the band-stop filter, the resonance frequency and the anti-resonance frequency lie outside the passband of the band-pass filter.

  • Patent number: 7999636
    Abstract: A surface acoustic wave filter arrangement is described herein. The surface acoustic wave filter arrangement includes a first gate configured to operate symmetrically or asymmetrically, and a second gate configured to operate symmetrically. The filter arrangement also includes a double-mode surface acoustic wave (DMS) filter structure including an input connected to the first gate, and an output. The output includes a terminal pair that includes two symmetrical terminals configured to operate symmetrically. Each of the two symmetrical terminals of the terminal pair is electrically connected at the output of the DMS filter structure to a cascaded resonator.
