MULTI-MODE SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVE FILTER

Abstract:

Multi-mode surface acoustic wave filters are disclosed. A multi-mode surface acoustic wave filter can include a plurality of interdigital transducer electrodes that are longitudinally coupled to each other and acoustic reflectors on opposing sides of the plurality of interdigital transducer electrodes. The acoustic reflectors include acoustic reflector fingers arranged to suppress a spurious response due to shear horizontal mode of the multi-mode surface acoustic wave filter. For example, the acoustic reflector fingers can include stepped lengths and/or slanted pitches to suppress the spurious response due to shear horizontal mode.
