Acoustic matrix filters and radios using acoustic matrix filters

Abstract:

There are disclosed acoustic filters and radios incorporating the acoustic filters. A filter includes a first filter port, a second filter port, and n sub-filters, where n is an integer greater than one. Each sub-filter has a first sub-filter port connected to the first filter port and a second sub-filter port connected to the second filter port. A first acoustic resonator is connected from the first filter port to ground, and a second acoustic resonator is connected from the second filter port to ground. The first and second acoustic resonators are configured to create respective transmission zeros adjacent to a lower edge of a passband of the filter.
