Figure 1 An integrated chip is formed on the resonant filter 30 shown. For example... Figures 1-7 As shown, the surface acoustic wave (SAW) device includes: a resonant filter 30, which includes a plurality of parallel resonators 12, one end of which is connected to at least one ground port GND. At least two of the parallel resonators 12 are connected to the same ground port GND, and the ground port GND connected to the at least two parallel resonators 12 is a common ground port. A packaging substrate is located on one side of the resonant filter 30. The packaging substrate includes a first substrate 10, which includes a common ground area 21 and at least one independent cut area 20. The independent cut area 20 is correspondingly disposed to at least one of the common ground ports and is connected to the corresponding common ground port. The independent cut area 20 is connected to the common ground area 21 via a connecting portion 23, the extension direction of which is perpendicular to the SAW propagation direction of the SAW device.

[0045] Specifically, the surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices provided in the embodiments of the present invention may include SAW filters, SAW duplexers, or SAW multiplexers, etc. Figures 2-4 Three exemplary circuit topologies for surface acoustic wave duplexers are shown. Figures 2-4 The circuit topology of the surface acoustic wave duplexer shown can be integrated and fabricated on... Figure 1 The resonant filter element 30 shown is used. In some embodiments of the present invention... Figure 1 The circuit topology of devices such as surface acoustic wave filters or surface acoustic wave multiplexers can also be integrated on the resonant filter 30 shown, without specific limitations here.

[0046] The resonant filter element 30 can include multiple parallel resonators 12, one end of which can be connected to one or more grounding ports GND. For example,... Figures 1-4 As shown, the resonant filter 30 can integrate a transmitting filter unit 13 and a receiving filter unit 14. The transmitting filter unit 13 may include three parallel resonators 12, and the receiving filter unit 14 may include four parallel resonators. In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of parallel resonators 12 in the resonant filter 30 can be arbitrarily set according to actual conditions, and no specific limitation is made here. Figure 2 One end of the parallel resonator 12 in the transmitting filter unit 13 and one of the parallel resonators 12 in the receiving filter unit 14 can be connected to the first ground port GND1, and one end of the remaining parallel resonators 12 in the receiving filter unit 14 can be connected to the second ground port GND2. Figure 3One end of the parallel resonator 12 in the transmitting filter unit 13 shown can be connected to the first ground port GND1, one end of the parallel resonator 12 in the receiving filter unit 14 can be connected to the third ground port GND3, and one end of the remaining parallel resonators 12 in the receiving filter unit 14 can be connected to the second ground port GND2. Figure 4 One end of each of the two parallel resonators 12 in the transmitting filter unit 13 can be connected to the first ground port GND1. One end of the remaining parallel resonator 12 in the transmitting filter unit 13 and one parallel resonator 12 in the receiving filter unit 14 can be connected to the third ground port GND3. One end of the remaining parallel resonators 12 in the receiving filter unit 14 can be connected to the second ground port GND2. In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of ground ports GND connected to the parallel resonators 12 in the resonant filter body 30 and the connection configuration with the parallel resonators 12 can be arbitrarily set.

[0047] At least two parallel resonators 12 in the resonant filter element 30 can be connected to the same ground port GND, for example. Figure 2 Of the seven parallel resonators 12 shown, four are connected to the same first ground port GND1, and three are connected to the same second ground port GND2. Figure 2 Both the first grounding port GND1 and the second grounding port GND2 can be used as common grounding ports. Figure 3 Of the seven parallel resonators 12 shown, three are connected to the same first ground port GND1, three are connected to the same second ground port GND2, and one is connected to the third ground port GND3. Figure 3 The first grounding port GND1 and the second grounding port GND2 can be used as a common grounding port. Figure 4 Of the seven parallel resonators 12 shown, two parallel resonators 12 are connected to the same first ground port GND1, three parallel resonators 12 are connected to the same second ground port GND2, and two parallel resonators 12 are connected to the same third ground port GND3. Figure 3 The first grounding port GND1, the second grounding port GND2, and the third grounding port GND3 can all be used as a common grounding port. As the size of surface acoustic wave devices continues to shrink, parallel resonators 12 connected to the same grounding port GND may generate coupling crosstalk, resulting in poor isolation performance of the product and thus failing to meet customer requirements.

[0048] To avoid coupling crosstalk between parallel resonators 12 connected to the same ground port GND, this embodiment of the invention, based on existing feasible manufacturing processes, provides at least one independent cut-out region 20 in the first substrate 10 of the packaging substrate. That is, if coupling crosstalk occurs between parallel resonators 12 connected to a common ground port, an independent cut-out region 20 corresponding to this common ground port can be provided in the first substrate 10. For example, this is integrated onto the resonant filter element 30. Figure 2 When the circuit topology 31 of the surface acoustic wave device is shown, the structure of the first substrate 10 can be as follows: Figure 5 As shown, whether coupling crosstalk occurs in the parallel resonator 12 connected to the common ground port can be obtained using simulation measurement methods. Figure 2 The parallel resonator 12 connected to the first ground port GND1 shown in the diagram can be free from coupling crosstalk, while the parallel resonator 12 connected to the second ground port GND2 will experience coupling crosstalk. The second ground port GND2 can be located in the upper left region of the top view of the resonant filter 30, and the first ground port GND1 can be located in the upper right region of the top view of the resonant filter 30. Figure 5 The first substrate 10 shown has a first independent cut area 22 corresponding to the second ground port GND2, while the first ground port GND1 does not need to have a corresponding independent cut area 20. The first independent cut area 22 can be connected to the common ground area 21 through the connecting part 23. The second ground port GND2 can be connected to the first independent cut area 22, and the first ground port GND1 can be directly connected to the common ground area 21.

[0049] For example, an integrated configuration is provided on the resonant filter element 30. Figure 3 When the circuit topology 31 of the surface acoustic wave device is shown, the structure of the first substrate 10 can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown, Figure 3 The parallel resonator 12 connected to the first ground port GND1 can experience coupling crosstalk, as can the parallel resonator 12 connected to the second ground port GND2. However, only one parallel resonator 12 is connected to the third ground port GND3, and therefore no coupling crosstalk occurs. The second ground port GND2 can be located in the upper left region of the top view of the resonant filter 30, and the first ground port GND1 can be located in the upper right region of the top view of the resonant filter 30. Figure 6The first substrate 10 shown has a first independent cut area 22 corresponding to the second ground port GND2, and a second independent cut area 27 corresponding to the first ground port GND1. Both the first independent cut area 22 and the second independent cut area 27 can be connected to the common ground area 21 via the connecting part 23. The second ground port GND2 can be connected to the first independent cut area 22, and the first ground port GND1 can be connected to the second independent cut area 27. The third ground port GND3 can be directly connected to the common ground area 21.

[0050] For example, an integrated configuration is provided on the resonant filter element 30. Figure 4 When the circuit topology 31 of the surface acoustic wave device is shown, the structure of the first substrate 10 can be as follows: Figure 7 As shown, Figure 4 The parallel resonator 12 connected to the first ground port GND1, the parallel resonator 12 connected to the second ground port GND2, and the parallel resonator 12 connected to the third ground port GND3 can all experience coupling crosstalk. The second ground port GND2 can be located in the upper left region of the top view of the resonant filter 30, and the first ground port GND1 can be located in the upper right region of the top view of the resonant filter 30, or in the lower middle region of the top view of the resonant filter 30. Figure 7 The first substrate 10 shown has a first independent cut area 22 corresponding to the second ground port GND2, a second independent cut area 27 corresponding to the first ground port GND1, and a third independent cut area 28 corresponding to the third ground port GND3. The first independent cut area 22, the second independent cut area 27, and the third independent cut area 28 can all be connected to a common ground area 21 via a connecting portion 23. The second ground port GND2 can be connected to the first independent cut area 22, the first ground port GND1 can be connected to the second independent cut area 27, and the third ground port GND3 can be connected to the third independent cut area 28.

[0051] As described above, at least one of the common grounding ports in the resonant filter 30, which are connected to at least two parallel resonators 12, can be correspondingly provided with an independent cut-off region 20, and the independent cut-off region 20 is connected to the corresponding common grounding port. The independent cut-off region 20 is connected to the common grounding region 21 via a connecting part 23. Simultaneously, the extending direction of the connecting part 23 must be perpendicular to the surface acoustic wave propagation direction of the surface acoustic wave device. In the vertical direction, the independent cut-off region 20 can move left and right without being fixed. For example, as... Figures 5-7As shown, the receiving conductive area 25 in the first substrate 10 can be set to correspond to the receiving port RX, and the transmitting conductive area 24 can be set to correspond to the transmitting port TX. That is, the surface acoustic wave propagation direction of the surface acoustic wave device is the first direction X. At this time, the extension direction of the connecting part 23 needs to be set to the second direction Y, and the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. In some embodiments of the present invention, the surface acoustic wave propagation direction of the surface acoustic wave device can also be the second direction Y or other arbitrary directions, and the extension direction of the connecting part 23 can be the first direction X or other directions perpendicular to the surface acoustic wave propagation direction.

[0052] By setting the extension direction of the connecting part 23 perpendicular to the surface acoustic wave propagation direction of the surface acoustic wave device, and setting the current direction and acoustic direction of the first substrate 10 orthogonal, the orthogonal decoupling of the electric field and sound field is utilized to cut off the path for the electrical signal to directly "take a shortcut" to the output end, forcing the signal to be transmitted only through acoustic conversion. This eliminates electromagnetic feedthrough caused by parasitic capacitance or electromagnetic field coupling on the substrate, blocking the direct transmission of electromagnetic waves. Therefore, the output end can only receive the signal after acoustic delay and filtering, effectively avoiding coupling crosstalk generated by the parallel resonators 12 connected to the same ground port GND, and greatly improving the isolation of the surface acoustic wave device.

[0053] In the technical solution of this invention embodiment, at least one of the common grounding ports in the resonant filter 30 connected to at least two parallel resonators 12 can be correspondingly provided with an independent cut-out region 20, and the independent cut-out region 20 is connected to the corresponding common grounding port. The independent cut-out region 20 is also connected to the common grounding region 21 through a connecting part 23, and the extension direction of the connecting part 23 must be perpendicular to the surface acoustic wave propagation direction of the surface acoustic wave device. Based on existing feasible manufacturing processes, this invention embodiment adopts a new cut-out structure for the first substrate 10, with a separately designed small cut-out module, which is then connected to the ground, and its connection method is set to be perpendicular to the signal transmission direction. This invention embodiment can reduce the isolation suppression sensitivity caused by two or more parallel resonators 12 sharing a common ground, and can also significantly improve the isolation between the transmitter and receiver of the device.

[0054] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, refer to... Figures 1-7 The number of independent cut areas 20 is less than or equal to the number of common grounding ports.

[0055] Specifically, at least two parallel resonators 12 in the resonant filter 30 can be connected to the same ground port GND, and the ground port GND connected to the at least two parallel resonators 12 can serve as a common ground port. To avoid coupling crosstalk between the parallel resonators 12 connected to the same ground port GND, this embodiment of the invention, based on existing feasible manufacturing processes, separately provides at least one independent cut area 20 in the first substrate 10 of the packaging substrate. That is, if coupling crosstalk occurs between the parallel resonators 12 connected to the common ground port, an independent cut area 20 corresponding to this common ground port can be provided in the first substrate 10.

[0056] At least one of the common grounding ports connected to at least two parallel resonators 12 in the resonant filter 30 can be provided with an independent cut area 20. That is, when at least two parallel resonators 12 connected to the common grounding port are coupled and crosstalk occurs, an independent cut area 20 is provided for this common grounding port. If at least two parallel resonators 12 connected to the common grounding port are not coupled and crosstalk occurs, an independent cut area 20 is not required for this common grounding port. The number of independent cut areas 20 can be less than or equal to the number of common grounding ports.

[0057] The independent cut-out region 20 is connected to the common ground region 21 via the connecting part 23, and the extension direction of the connecting part 23 must be perpendicular to the surface acoustic wave propagation direction of the surface acoustic wave device. This embodiment of the invention can reduce the isolation suppression sensitivity caused by two or more parallel resonators 12 sharing a common ground, and can also significantly improve the isolation between the transmitter and receiver of the device.

[0058] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the connecting portion 23 extends from the edge of the independent cut area 20 to the edge of the common connection area 21, with the extending direction toward the middle region of the first substrate 10.

[0059] Specifically, Figure 8 This is a top view of another first substrate provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figures 1-8 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the connecting portion 23 extends from the edge of the independent cutting area 20 to the edge of the common contact area 21. The extending direction can be toward the middle area of ​​the first substrate 10, or the extending direction can be away from the middle area of ​​the first substrate 10.

[0060] In the case where the extension direction is towards the middle region of the first substrate 10, the ground return current of each parallel resonator 12 can be made to flow into the common ground along the shortest and most symmetrical path, which greatly reduces the ground parasitic inductance and ground loop area, reduces the resonant frequency shift and crosstalk caused by the ground return asymmetry, and effectively suppresses the interference superposition between multiple ground return paths and the ground bounce effect, thereby significantly reducing the isolation suppression sensitivity caused by multiple parallel resonators sharing the same ground, and improving the transmit and receive isolation and operating stability of the surface acoustic wave device.

[0061] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, refer to... Figures 1-7 The resonant filter 30 also includes multiple series resonators 11, a transmit port TX, and a receive port RX. The multiple series resonators 11 are connected in series between the transmit port TX and the receive port RX. The first ends of multiple parallel resonators 12 are connected to the connection nodes of the multiple series resonators 11, and the second ends of the multiple parallel resonators 12 are connected to at least one ground port GND. The first substrate 10 also includes a transmit conductive region 24 and a receive conductive region 25. The transmit conductive region 24, the receive conductive region 25, a common ground area 21, and an independent cut area 20 are spaced apart. The transmit conductive region 24 is correspondingly arranged and connected to the transmit port TX, and the receive conductive region 25 is correspondingly arranged and connected to the receive port RX. The extending direction of the connecting portion 23 is perpendicular to the direction from the transmit conductive region 24 to the receive conductive region 25. The resonant filter 30 also includes an antenna port ANT. A portion of the series resonators 11 and the parallel resonators 12 connected to the series resonators 11 constitute a transmitting filter unit 13. The remaining portion of the series resonators 11 and the parallel resonators 12 connected to the remaining portion of the series resonators 11 constitute a receiving filter unit 14. The first end of the transmitting filter unit 13 is connected to the transmitting port TX, and the second end of the transmitting filter unit 13 is connected to the antenna port ANT. The first end of the receiving filter unit 14 is connected to the antenna port ANT, and the second end of the receiving filter unit 14 is connected to the receiving port RX. The first substrate 10 includes an antenna conductive region 26, and the antenna conductive region 26, the transmitting conductive region 24, the receiving conductive region 25, the common ground region 21, and the independently cut region 20 are spaced apart. The antenna conductive region 26 is correspondingly disposed and connected to the antenna port ANT.

[0062] Specifically, Figures 2-4 Three exemplary circuit topologies for surface acoustic wave duplexers are shown.
