Ladder-Lattice BAW Filters: Concepts, Design and Implementation

Résumé

This paper presents a study of ladder-lattice bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters. First, reviews of bulk acoustic wave technology and filters topologies are addressed. Next, a mixed ladder-lattice BAW filter for application on W CDMA reception front-ends (2.11 – 2.17 GHz) is presented. An improved solidly mounted resonators (SMR) technology was used for the filter implementation. The filter synthesis methodology is briefly described. Layout guidelines are discussed enabling an optimized filter design. The filter on-wafer measurement results are: 3.55 dB of insertion loss, 8.7 dB of return loss, an isolation higher than 47 dB at the transmission band (1.92 – 1.98 GHz) and an improved selectivity ( 30 dB @ 2.14 GHz ± 60 MHz). Therefore, we can observe that the mixed topology combines the advantages of ladder and lattice networks, having very steep responses and an improved isolation at undesired band
