Patent number: 6737936Abstract: A duplexer has four surface-acoustic-wave resonators, forming two filters, integrated on a piezoelectric substrate. The surface-acoustic-wave resonators are laid out so that the two resonators with intermediate resonance frequencies are separated from each other by one or both of the resonators with the highest and lowest resonance frequencies, thereby improving isolation between the two filters. In one configuration the two filters are ladder filters, and the resonators are laid out in a row in which the series-arm resonator of the receiving filter is followed by the shunt-arm resonator of the receiving filter, then the series-arm resonator of the transmitting filter, then the shunt-arm resonator of the transmitting filter. The two filters may also be separated by a groove in the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2002Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kazushige Noguchi

Patent number: 5905418Abstract: A surface-acoustic-wave filter couples a two-port surface-acoustic-wave resonator filter circuit coupled in parallel or in series with a two-port impedance circuit. The two-port impedance circuit has an impedance that creates a pole of attenuation, by making the open-circuit impedance of the surface-acoustic-wave filter equal to the short-circuit impedance. High attenuation over a wide range of stopband frequencies is obtained in this way, combined with steep roll-off between the passband and stopband.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1997Date of Patent: May 18, 1999Assignee: Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hisanori Ehara, Kazushige Noguchi, Hajime Shimamura, Yoshio Okada, Tomokazu Komazaki

Patent number: 5486799Abstract: A compact, high performance strip line filter which may be made thinner than a dielectric filter having comparable performance characteristics. The strip line filter includes a rectangular box-shaped, dielectric block having parallel grooves, formed in a front face with a predetermined spacing therebetween, the grooves extending from a top face to a bottom face of the block. A thin film outer conductive layer covers the side faces, the back face, and the bottom face. Resonator conductors, each formed of a thin film of conductive material, cover the respective surfaces of the grooves and are connected to the outer conductor. According to a further aspect, a substrate, with capacitor formed thereon, opposes a face of the dielectric block to provide capacitive coupling. The capacitors may be arranged to provide attenuation poles at finite frequencies. In accordance with another aspect, such strip line filters are used as the transmitting and receiving filters of a duplexer filter.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1994Date of Patent: January 23, 1996Assignee: Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomokazu Komazaki, Katsuhiko Gunji, Kazushige Noguchi, Kunihiro Tanoie
