Multiplexer including filter with two types of acoustic wave resonators

Abstract:

Multiplexers are disclosed. A multiplexer can include a first filter and a second filter that are coupled to a common node. The second filter can include a first type of acoustic wave resonators (e.g., bulk acoustic wave resonators) and a series acoustic wave resonator of a second type (e.g., a surface acoustic wave resonator) that is coupled between the acoustic wave resonators of the first type and the common node. The first filter can provide a single-ended radio frequency signal. In certain embodiments, the first filter can be a receive filter and the second filter can be a transmit filter.
