[0002] Surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters are widely used in the field of communication as bandpass filters. Structurally, they include ladder structure, DMS structure, and hybrid structure that combines the two. However, existing technologies lack optimization for SAW filters using hybrid structures, resulting in insufficient steepness of the transition band in adjacent frequency bands, which affects the out-of-band suppression performance of SAW filters.

[0003] To address the issue of insufficient transition band steepness, patent application CN202311702298.6 (prior reference document) discloses a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter circuit, filter, and duplexer with a steep transition band. This design optimizes SAW filters employing a hybrid structure, effectively improving the steepness of the transition band and enabling the SAW filter to achieve higher out-of-band suppression performance. Specifically, as... Figure 1 As shown, although the steepness of its transition zone has increased, the near-stopping bands on both sides of the passband have not achieved good suppression; for example... Figure 2 As shown, although it achieves better suppression near the blocking band, it sacrifices some of the steepness of the transition band. Utility Model Content

[0026] As shown in the figure, Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the DMS structure comprises at least three interdigital transducers and first and second reflective gratings 6 and 7 located on both sides of the interdigital transducers.

The first interdigital electrode b and the second interdigital electrode d are alternately distributed between the first busbar a and the second busbar c.

[0028] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 5 As shown, the DMS structure includes three interdigital transducers, namely a first interdigital transducer 1, a second interdigital transducer 2, and a third interdigital transducer 3. The first busbar of the first interdigital transducer 1, the first busbar of the second interdigital transducer 2, and the first busbar of the third interdigital transducer 3 are connected and then connected to one end of the inductor L, and the other end of the inductor L is grounded. The second busbar of the second interdigital transducer 2 is connected to the input terminal Input, and the second busbar of the first interdigital transducer 1 and the second busbar of the third interdigital transducer 3 are connected and then connected to the output terminal Output. The capacitor C is connected between the input terminal Input and the output terminal Output.
