  • Patent number: 8188811
    Abstract: A filter with coupled resonator having a substrate; an acoustic mirror intended to support acoustic resonators, and to isolate these resonators from the substrate; a first structure with an upper resonator and a lower resonator coupled to one another through at least one layer of acoustic coupling; a second structure with an upper resonator and a lower resonator coupled to one another through at least one layer of acoustic coupling; the lower resonators of the first and second structure having the same electrodes. The first and second structures are connected via a fifth resonator for which electrodes and the piezoelectric layer of the lower resonators are of the first and second structure.

  • Patent number: 7868517
    Abstract: A Lamb wave resonator includes a piezoelectric layer, and a first electrode against a first face of the piezoelectric layer. The first electrode includes fingers and a contact arm, with each finger including a first side in contact with the contact arm and two other sides parallel to one another. Portions of the piezoelectric layer are at least partially etched between the two fingers to form a recess. The fingers are spaced apart from one another by a distance W calculated according to the following equation: W = n · va lateral f , with ? ? n ? N where, valateral is an acoustic propagation speed of Lamb waves, n is an order of a resonance mode of the Lamb waves, f is a resonance frequency of the Lamb wave resonator.

  • Patent number: 6879226
    Abstract: The invention relates to a quadruple mode microwave filter having coupled cavities with a plurality of transmission zeros, said filter comprising at least one rectangular parallelepiped-shaped quadruple mode cavity, at least two rectangular irises, and two input/output waveguides. Tuning and coupling of the filter are obtained exclusively by the dimensions and mutual disposition of the at least one resonant cavity and the irises, without any screw or other tuning mechanism. All the faces of the cavities and the irises are either parallel or perpendicular to each other. In a preferred embodiment the irises are offcentered along the two transverse axes. According to one advantageous feature, the input mode and the output mode are the same, preferably the TE 10 fundamental mode.

  • Patent number: 6270373
    Abstract: A connector (1) having a contact (2) for being crimped by one side thereof onto a conductor (3) of a cable (4) is provided on the other side with an elastic tongue (7) which can contact a printed circuit introduced in such connector. The elastic tongue is allowed a wide displacement, due to the structure of the arm (6) which joins the elastic tongue to the insulation displacement device (8-10) held by a blade (5) of the contact (2).
