[0049] (First Embodiment)
[0050] Figure 1 This is a circuit diagram of the bandpass filter circuit of the first embodiment. The bandpass filter circuit includes an input terminal T1 and an output terminal T2. An elastic wave resonator Y1 is connected in series between the input terminal T1 and the output terminal T2. Figure 2 , 3 The elastic wave resonator Y1 described in examples A and 3B.
[0051] Figure 2 This is an equivalent circuit diagram illustrating the elastic wave resonator Y1. The elastic wave resonator Y1 includes a resistor RS connected to the input terminal T1. A series circuit having an inductor L1, a capacitor C1, and a resistor R1, and a series circuit having a capacitor C0 and a resistor R0, are connected in parallel between the resistor RS and the output terminal T2.
[0052] Figure 3 A is a schematic diagram illustrating a construction example of the elastic wave resonator Y1. Figure 3 A is a plan view of a surface wave resonator. The surface wave resonator has an interdigital transducer (IDT) 51 and a reflector 52 disposed on a piezoelectric substrate 50. The IDT 51 has a pair of opposing comb-shaped electrodes 51a. According to one example, the comb-shaped electrodes 51a have a plurality of electrode fingers 51b and a busbar 51c connecting the electrode fingers 51b. The reflector 52 is disposed on both sides of the IDT 51, sandwiching the IDT 51. The IDT 51 excites surface waves on the piezoelectric substrate 50. According to one example, the piezoelectric substrate 50 is a lithium tantalate substrate or a lithium niobate substrate.

The first element C11 is a capacitor. A second element C12, one end of which is connected to a second node N2 between the elastic wave resonator Y1 and the output terminal T2. The second element C12 is also a capacitor.
[0055] One end of the third element L11 is connected to the third node N3, which connects the other end of the first element C11 and the other end of the second element C12. The other end of the third element L11 is connected to the ground terminal. The third element L11 is an inductor. One end of the fourth element C21 is connected to the first node N1.

The other end of the seventh element L21 is connected to the ground terminal. The seventh element L21 is an inductor. One end of the eighth element L22 is connected to the fifth node N5 connecting the fifth element C23 and the sixth element C22. The other end of the eighth element L22 is connected to the ground terminal. The eighth element L22 is an inductor.
[0057] Figure 4 These are circuit diagrams of other example bandpass filter circuits. The bandpass filter circuits are compatible with matching circuits C31 and C32. Figure 1The bandpass filter circuits are different. Matching circuit C31 is disposed between the input terminal T1 and the first node N1. Matching circuit C32 is disposed between the output terminal T2 and the second node N2. According to other examples, only one of the matching circuits C31 and C32 may be disposed.
[0058] Figure 5-8 show Figure 4 The frequency characteristics of the S-parameters of the bandpass filter circuit are obtained under the following simulation conditions.

[0060] Elastic wave resonator Y1 ( Figure 2 Resonant frequency fr = 5.003 GHz
[0061] Elastic wave resonator Y1 ( Figure 2 The Q value (Qr) of the resonant frequency is 500.
[0062] Elastic wave resonator Y1 ( Figure 2 The anti-resonance frequency fa = 5.176 GHz
[0063] Elastic wave resonator Y1 ( Figure 2 The Q value (Qa) of the anti-resonance frequency is 500.
[0064] The capacitance of capacitor C0 is 0.194pF.
[0065] The characteristics of each component were optimized using numerical methods employing design tools incorporating Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS), and specifically optimized for the n79 in the new radio band for 5G mobile communication systems. Furthermore, the n79 has a passband of 4.4 GHz to 5.0 GHz.
[0066] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the passband characteristics (S21) from input terminal T1 to output terminal T2 with respect to frequency. Frequency below the frequency indicated by marker m1 must be attenuated. In this example, the frequency of m1 is 2.69 GHz (referred to as 2.7 GHz for convenience). Markers m2 and m3 indicate the lower and upper ends of the passband, respectively. The frequency of m2 is, for example, 4.4 GHz. The frequency of m3 is, for example, 5.0 GHz. Frequency above the frequency indicated by marker m4 must be attenuated. In this example, the frequency of m4 is 5.15 GHz.
[0067] The S21 values for m1, m2, m3, and m4 are as follows.
[0068] At m1, S21 = -45.049
[0069] In m2, S21 = -1.220
[0070] In m3, S21 = -1.121
[0071] At m4, S21 = -24.015
[0072] Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A magnified view of the passband. Frequencies m5, m6, and m7 are the same as m2, m3, and m4. From... Figure 5 , 6 It is understandable that a larger S21 value results in a wider bandwidth by sacrificing a smaller passband. Furthermore, it allows for a steeper cutoff characteristic between the passband and bandgap on the high-frequency side of m3. Moreover, this superior effect can be achieved simply by using... Figure 4 The simple circuit shown can achieve this with one elastic wave resonator, three inductors and several capacitors.
[0073] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the input reflection coefficient (S11) and frequency, expressed as the ratio of the reflected signal from the input terminal T1 to the signal input from the input terminal T1. Figure 7 Also shown is the Smith chart, which displays the reflective properties.
[0074] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the output reflection coefficient (S22) and frequency, which is expressed as the ratio of the reflected signal at output terminal T2 to the signal input from output terminal T2. Figure 8 Also shown is the Smith chart, which displays the reflective properties.
[0075] At frequencies m2 and m3, i.e., 4.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz, the reflection coefficient of S21 is small. Therefore, most of the high-frequency signals input from the input terminal T1 will not be reflected or attenuated in the bandpass filter circuit and can be output from the output terminal T2. On the other hand, at frequencies m1 and m4, i.e., 2.7 GHz and 5.15 GHz, the reflection coefficient of S21 is large. Therefore, most of the high-frequency signals input from the input terminal T1 will be reflected or attenuated in the bandpass filter circuit, and most of them cannot be output from the output terminal T2. Furthermore, the difference between m3 and m4 is small, which enables a bandpass filter characteristic with a steep blocking characteristic between the passband and the band gap to be achieved on the high-frequency side of the passband.
[0076] Then cooperate Figure 9 , 10 Explain the comparative examples. Figure 9This is a circuit diagram of a comparative bandpass filter circuit. The bandpass filter circuit includes an inductor L21' with one end connected to the first node N1 and the other end connected to a ground terminal. Furthermore, the bandpass filter circuit also includes an inductor L22' with one end connected to the second node N2 and the other end connected to a ground terminal.
[0077] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the frequency characteristics of S21 in the comparative example bandpass filter circuit.
[0078] Figure 10 The charts were obtained under the following simulated conditions.

[0080] Elastic wave resonator Y1 ( Figure 2 Resonant frequency fr = 5.119 GHz
[0081] Elastic wave resonator Y1 ( Figure 2 The Q value (Qr) of the resonant frequency is 500.

[0083] Elastic wave resonator Y1 ( Figure 2 The Q value (Qa) of the anti-resonance frequency is 500.
[0084] The capacitance of capacitor C0 is 0.159pF.
[0085] The characteristics of each component are optimized using numerical optimization methods with the design tools that include Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS), and optimized for n79.
[0086] and Figure 5 The frequencies m1, m2, m3, and m4 shown are also marked in... Figure 10 middle. Figure 10 The S21 values for m1, m2, m3, and m4 are shown below. (The values are referenced in parentheses.) Figure 5 The S21 values of m1-m4.
[0087] m1: S21 = -29.723(-45.049)
[0088] m2:S21=-1.377(-1.220)
[0089] m3: S21 = -0.915(-1.121)
[0090] m4: S21 = -20.093(-24.015)
[0091] Figure 10 In the frequency characteristics, it is impossible to make the blocking characteristics between the passband and the bandgap on the high-frequency side of m3 steep. In other words, although it is possible to ensure that the bandwidth of S21 is wide enough above the upper end of the passband, Figure 10 The area enclosed by the dotted line cannot allow S21 to be reduced sufficiently.
[0092] The filter characteristics obtained by the circuit structure of the first embodiment described above can make the high-frequency side of the passband steeper, and because the high-frequency side has broadband blocking characteristics, it is quite superior in all aspects compared to the bandpass filter of the comparative example.
[0093] (Second Embodiment)
[0094] Figure 11 A circuit diagram illustrating the bandpass filter circuit of the second embodiment is shown. The bandpass filter circuit includes a ninth element C13, and... Figure 4 The structures are different. The ninth element C13 and the third element L11 are connected in parallel between the third node N3 and the ground terminal, and it is a capacitor.
[0095] Figure 12-15 show Figure 11 The frequency characteristics of the S-parameters of the bandpass filter circuit are obtained under the following simulation conditions.

[0101] The capacitance of capacitor C0 is 0.286pF.
[0102] The characteristics of each component are optimized using numerical optimization methods with the design tools that include Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS), and optimized for n79.
[0103] Figure 12 The frequencies m1, m2, m3, and m4 shown are... Figure 5 The m1, m2, m3, and m4 are the same. Figure 12 The S21 values for m1, m2, m3, and m4 are shown below. (The values are referenced in parentheses.) Figure 5 The S21 values of m1, m2, m3, and m4.

[0108] Figure 13 yes Figure 12 A partially enlarged view of the passband. Frequencies m5, m6, and m7 are the same as the previously mentioned frequencies m2, m3, and m4. From... Figure 12 , 13 It can be understood that a large S21 value and a small loss result in a wider passband. Furthermore, it allows for a steeper cutoff characteristic between the passband and bandgap on the high-frequency side of m3. Moreover, this superior effect can be achieved with a relatively small number of components.
[0109] Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between S11 and frequency. Figure 14 Also shown is the Smith chart, which displays the reflective properties. Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between S22 and frequency. Figure 15 The image also shows a Smith chart illustrating the reflective properties.
[0110] From the above simulation results, it can be understood that Figure 11 The bandpass filter circuit shown in the second embodiment is, with Figure 4 The bandpass filter circuits shown have the same characteristics.
[0111] According to the structure of the second embodiment, by adding the ninth element C13, the capacitance value of the capacitor C0 of the elastic wave resonator Y1 can be increased. According to one example, Figure 4 The capacitance of capacitor C0 in the bandpass filter circuit is 0.194pF, but Figure 11 The capacitance value of capacitor C0 in the bandpass filter circuit can be increased to 0.286pF. Increasing the capacitance value of capacitor C0 can increase the dielectric strength.
[0112] (Third Embodiment)
[0113] Figure 16 A circuit diagram of the bandpass filter circuit of the third embodiment is shown. The bandpass filter circuit also includes inductors L31 and L32, and... Figure 4 This differs from the bandpass filter circuit. Inductor L31 is connected to the first node N1 and the ground terminal. Inductor L32 is connected to the second node N2 and the ground terminal. According to other examples, only one of inductors L31 and L32 may be used. Based on this circuit structure, similar to the first and second embodiments, the steepness of the blocking characteristics between the passband and the bandgap on the high-frequency side of the passband can be improved, thus achieving broadband blocking characteristics on the high-frequency side.
