Embodiment 1

[0018] FIG. 1 is a top view of a SAW filter in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the first filter track 12 and the second filter track 13 are configured to be connected in parallel on the piezoelectric substrate 11 formed by using a Y-cut crystal substrate rotated at 28° to 42°. The first filter track 12 is formed by an input IDT electrode 14 and an output IDT electrode 15 . Likewise, the second filter track 13 is formed by an input IDT electrode 16 and an output IDT electrode 17 .

[0019] Furthermore, the input IDT electrode 14 of the first filter track 12 and the input IDT electrode 16 of the second filter track 13 are connected in parallel. Likewise, the output IDT electrode 15 of the first filter track 12 and the output IDT electrode 17 of the second filter track 13 are connected in parallel.

[0020] Next, the operation of the SAW filter constructed as described above will be described.

Abstract

A SAW filter comprising a piezoelectric substrate and at least two filter tracks formed on the substrate, each having at least two IDT electrodes for input and output. The two filter tracks have substantially the same phase within a pass band, while it is substantially inverse-phased outside the pass band. For realizing the above-described conditions, input IDT electrode of one filter track is connected in parallel with input IDT electrode of the other filter track, while output IDT electrode of one filter track is connected in parallel with output IDT electrode of the other filter track. Furthermore, frequency values of said two filter tracks substantially coincide at a point 3dB lower from the peak transfer function value. Thus the above-configured SAW filter of the present invention is smaller in the overall size and offers a broad pass band and a steep attenuation characteristic.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a surface acoustic wave filter used in high frequency circuits, intermediate frequency circuits and the like of wireless communication equipment. Background technique [0002] For the IF (intermediate frequency) filter used in the CDMA mobile phone that has been paid attention to in recent years, a relatively wide passband is required, and the flatness of the phase characteristic in the passband is important. It is suitable to use independently designed amplitude characteristics and A transverse surface acoustic wave filter with phase characteristics (hereinafter referred to as a SAW filter).
