Patent number: 11777470Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Qorvo US, Inc.Inventor: Manjunath Swamy

Publication number: 20230208386Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventor: Manjunath Swamy
