  • Patent number: 11777470
    Abstract: Acoustic wave devices and interdigital transducer (IDT) arrangements for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are disclosed. Representative SAW devices are described herein that provide sharp transitions between passband frequencies and frequencies that are outside of desired passbands. A SAW device may include several IDTs arranged between reflective structures on a piezoelectric material and one or more additional IDTs or electrode pairs that are configured to modify the influence of parasitic capacitance, or other internal device capacitance, thereby improving steepness on the upper side of a passband as well as improving rejection for frequencies outside of the passband. The one or more additional IDTs or electrode pairs may be configured as at least one of a capacitor, an IDT capacitor, an IDT with a floating electrode, or combinations thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230208386
    Abstract: Interdigital transducer (IDT) and reflective structure arrangements for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are disclosed. Representative SAW devices are described herein with reduced overall size while maintaining good quality factors. In certain embodiments, a SAW device may include an IDT arranged between reflective structures on a piezoelectric material. The reflective structures may include reflective IDTs that are configured to have a phase difference with the IDT to reflect and confine acoustic waves in the piezoelectric material. In certain embodiments, the reflective structures may be electrically connected to at least one of an input signal or an output signal. In this manner, the reflective structures may be configured with reduced size as compared to conventional reflective structures such as gratings, thereby providing a SAW device with reduced dimensions without a negative impact on device performance.

  • Patent number: 10873319
    Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) filtering devices, and particularly compensation structures for RF filtering devices are disclosed. Representative RF filtering devices are described that include compensation structures configured to adjust, reduce, or cancel leakage signals within the RF filtering devices, thereby providing improved isolation. Compensation structures may include surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices having multiple interdigital transducers (IDT) that are longitudinally coupled between two reflective structures. Different IDTs of a SAW device may be electrically connected to an RF filtering device, and at least one IDT of the SAW device may comprise an electrically floating electrode that provides the ability to further tune acoustic waves. Depending on the application, the compensation structure may be electrically connected to different portions of the RF filtering device. In certain embodiments, the RF filtering device is an RF duplexing device.
