  • Publication number: 20260196984
    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a passband filter is provided. The passband filter has a series branch, where the series branch comprises a set of one or more resonators having a resonant frequency sufficiently away from the passband of the filter such that spurious modes, of the set of one or more resonators, that are associated with the resonant frequency are outside of the passband of the filter; a set of one or more reactive components in series with the set of one or more resonators, the set of one or more reactive components having a resonant frequency sufficiently away from the passband of the filter such that the spurious modes of the set of one or more reactive components, that are associated with the resonant frequency are outside of the passband, and such that the resulting combined resonant frequency of the series combination of the set of one or more resonators and the set of one or more reactive components is within the passband of the filter.

  • Publication number: 20260058640
    Abstract: An RF circuit device using modified lattice, lattice, and ladder circuit topologies. The devices can include four resonator devices and four shunt resonator devices. In the ladder topology, the resonator devices are connected in series from an input port to an output port while shunt resonator devices are coupled the nodes between the resonator devices. In the lattice topology, a top and a bottom serial configurations each includes a pair of resonator devices that are coupled to differential input and output ports. A pair of shunt resonators is cross-coupled between each pair of a top serial configuration resonator and a bottom serial configuration resonator. The modified lattice topology adds baluns or inductor devices between top and bottom nodes of the top and bottom serial configurations of the lattice configuration. These topologies may be applied using single crystal or polycrystalline bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonators.

  • Patent number: 11838005
    Abstract: A BAW resonator filter can include a BAW resonator pass-band filter ladder, the BAW resonator pass-band filter ladder can be configured to pass frequency components of an input signal in a pass-band of frequencies received at an input node of the BAW resonator pass-band filter ladder to an output node of the BAW resonator pass-band filter ladder. A first rejection-band series resonator can be coupled in series between an input port of the BAW resonator pass-band filter ladder and the input node, the first rejection-band series resonator can have a first anti-resonant frequency peak in a rejection-band of frequencies that is less than the pass-band of frequencies. A second rejection-band series resonator can be coupled in series between an output port of the BAW resonator filter and the output node, the second rejection-band series resonator can have a second anti-resonant frequency peak in the rejection-band of frequencies.
