  • Patent number: 9673779
    Abstract: An electroacoustic transducer has reduced loss due to acoustic waves emitted in the transverse direction. For this purpose, a transducer comprises a central excitation area, inner edge areas flanking the central excitation area, outer edge areas flanking the inner edge areas, and areas of the busbar flanking the outer edge areas. The longitudinal speed of the areas can be set so that the excitation profile of a piston mode is obtained.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 2015
    Date of Patent: June 6, 2017
    Assignee: QUALCOMM Incorporated

  • Patent number: 9160303
    Abstract: A component is designed to work with acoustic waves. Embodiments have an improved temperature gradient of the frequency range and have increased performance strength. To this end, the component includes a stack of layers having a lower bonding layer, an electrode layer, an upper bonding layer, a compensation layer, and a trimming layer.

  • Patent number: 7868717
    Abstract: A transducer includes an acoustic track in which an acoustic wave can be propagated, the acoustic track having a transversal fundamental mode, the acoustic track being subdivided in a transversal direction into an excitation area and two peripheral areas. The transducer also includes a first outside area and a second outside area bordering the acoustic track such that the acoustic track is arranged in the transversal direction between the first and second outside area. The transducer also includes peripheral areas configured such that the longitudinal phase velocity vRB of the acoustic wave in the respective peripheral area is greater than the longitudinal phase velocity vMB of the wave in the excitation area.

  • Publication number: 20090167459
    Abstract: A duplexer is described herein. The duplexer includes a transmission branch configured to allow passage of signals in a transmission band. The duplexer also includes a reception branch configured to allow passage of signals in a reception band. The duplexer also includes a band rejection filter in the transmission branch configured to produce a short circuit to an electrical ground in a stopband. The stopband at least partially overlaps the reception band.
