Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting thereof. It should be further noted that, for convenience of description, only some, but not all of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic circuit diagram of an elastic wave filter according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of a third type resonator according to an embodiment of the present invention, where, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the elastic wave filter includes: an input terminal 10, an output terminal 20, a first type resonator 30, a second type resonator 40, and a third type resonator 50; the first type resonator 30 comprises at least one first resonator 301 and the second type resonator 40 comprises at least one second resonator 401; the third type of resonator 50 comprises at least one interdigital transducer 501; the first type resonator 30 is disposed in series in a loop between the input terminal 10 and the output terminal 20; one end of the second type resonator 40 is connected in a loop between the input terminal 10 and the output terminal 20, and the other end of the second type resonator 40 is grounded; the resonant frequency of the first type resonator 30 and the antiresonant frequency of the second type resonator 40 are both within the band range of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100; the resonance frequency and the antiresonance frequency of the third type resonator 50 are located outside the band range of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100 and are larger than the maximum frequency value of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100.
It should be noted that the passband of the elastic wave filter 100 is understood to be a frequency range on both sides of the 3dB bandwidth, that is, [ fmin, fmax ], and the maximum frequency value is the right side of the 3dB bandwidth, that is, fmax.
Specifically, the first type resonator 30 is disposed in series in the loop between the input terminal 10 and the output terminal 20, that is, the first type resonator 30 is a series arm resonator, and the series arm resonator may include one first resonator 301, and in other embodiments, the number of first resonators 301 may be plural, and the number of first resonators 301 is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. Illustratively, the first type resonator 30 may include 2, 3, or even more first resonators 301. Illustratively, the first type resonator in the acoustic wave filter 100 shown in fig. 1 includes 4 first resonators 301, and the embodiments of the present invention are each illustrated by taking 4 first resonators 301 as an example.
Specifically, one end of the second type resonator 40 is connected in the loop between the input terminal 10 and the output terminal 20, and the other end of the second type resonator 40 is grounded, that is, the second type resonator 40 is a parallel arm resonator, and the parallel arm resonator may include one second resonator 401, and in other embodiments, the number of second resonators 401 may be plural. Illustratively, the second type resonator 40 may include 2, 3, or even more second resonators 401. Illustratively, the second type resonator 40 in the acoustic wave filter 100 shown in fig. 1 includes 3 second resonators 401, and the embodiment of the present invention is illustrated by taking 3 second resonators 401 as an example.
Specifically, the resonance frequency of the first type resonator 30 is located within the frequency band of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100, and the antiresonance frequency of the second type resonator 40 is located within the frequency band of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100; the resonance frequency and the antiresonance frequency of the third type resonator 50 are located outside the band range of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100 and are larger than the maximum frequency value of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100. In other words, the resonance frequency and the antiresonance frequency of the third type resonator 50 are located at the high frequency side outside the band range of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100, so that the third type resonator 50 can form an attenuation pole, i.e., a zero point, at the high frequency side of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100, thereby causing the elastic wave filter 100 to form a notch fallback at the resonance frequency or antiresonance frequency of the third type resonator 50, increasing the out-of-band suppression degree of the elastic wave filter 100.
Note that, the third type resonator 50 may be a series-arm resonator or a parallel-arm resonator, and fig. 1 only shows a solution in which the third type resonator 50 is a parallel-arm resonator, and a solution in which the third type resonator 50 is a series-arm resonator will be described in the following embodiments. Further, the third type resonator 50 may be located at any position in the loop between the input terminal 10 and the output terminal 20, i.e., on the side close to the input terminal 10 or the side close to the output terminal 20, and may be located at a position close to the middle of the input terminal 10 and the output terminal 20.
Referring to fig. 2, the interdigital transducer 501 includes a first long-finger electrode 51 and a second long-finger electrode 52, the first long-finger electrode 51 and the second long-finger electrode 51 are interdigital electrodes, the interdigital electrodes and the bus bar 502 form an interdigital transducer, and the antiresonance frequency of the third type resonator 50 can be located outside the band range of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100 and is greater than the maximum frequency value of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100 by adjusting the period of the interdigital electrodes. The third type resonator 50 further includes a reflective grating 504, which can reduce acoustic wave leakage and increase the Q-value of the third type resonator 50.
According to the elastic wave filter provided by the embodiment of the invention, the third type resonator comprises at least one interdigital transducer, and the resonant frequency and the antiresonant frequency of the third type resonator are positioned outside the frequency band range of the passband of the elastic wave filter and are larger than the maximum frequency value of the passband of the elastic wave filter. That is, the resonance frequency and the antiresonance frequency of the third type resonator are located outside the band range of the passband of the elastic wave filter and are located at the high frequency side of the passband of the elastic wave filter, so that the third type resonator can form an attenuation pole, i.e., a zero point, at the high frequency side of the passband of the elastic wave filter, thereby causing the elastic wave filter to form a notch fall-back at the resonance frequency or antiresonance frequency of the third type resonator, increasing the out-of-band suppression degree of the elastic wave filter.
Optionally, with continued reference to fig. 1, the resonant frequency of the first type resonator 30 is greater than the resonant frequency of the second type resonator 40, and the antiresonant frequency of the first type resonator 30 is greater than the antiresonant frequency of the second type resonator 40; the antiresonant frequency of the third type resonator 50 is greater than the antiresonant frequency of the first type resonator 30.
Specifically, the resonance frequency of the series arm resonator is greater than the resonance frequency of the parallel arm resonator, and the anti-resonance frequency of the series arm resonator is greater than the anti-resonance frequency of the parallel arm, because the resonance frequency and the anti-resonance frequency of the first resonator 301 are both greater, the resonance frequency and the anti-resonance frequency of the third type resonator 50 are greater than the anti-resonance frequency of the first resonator 301, that is, an attenuation pole, that is, a zero point can be formed on the high frequency side of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100, so that the elastic wave filter 100 forms a notch fall at the resonance frequency or the anti-resonance frequency of the third type resonator 50, and the out-of-band suppression degree of the elastic wave filter 100 is increased.
As a possible implementation, when the number of interdigital transducers 501 is one, the resonant frequency and the antiresonant frequency of the interdigital transducer 501 may both be located outside the band range of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100, and both be larger than the maximum frequency value of the passband of the Yu Danxing wave filter 100, so that the out-of-band rejection of the elastic wave filter 100 can be further improved.
As another possible embodiment, when the number of interdigital transducers 501 is two or more, the maximum resonance frequency and the maximum antiresonance frequency in the plurality of interdigital transducers 501 may be both located outside the band range of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100, and both are larger than the maximum frequency value of the passband of the Yu Danxing wave filter 100. Alternatively, all resonant frequencies and all antiresonant frequencies in the interdigital transducers 501 may be located outside the band range of the passband of the elastic wave filter 100, and the maximum frequency value of the passband of the Yu Danxing wave filter 100 is all greater, so that the out-of-band rejection of the elastic wave filter 100 can be further improved.
Alternatively, with continued reference to fig. 1, one end of the third type resonator 50 is connected in a loop between the input terminal 10 and the output terminal 20, and the other end of the third type resonator 50 is grounded, i.e., the third type resonator 50 is a parallel resonator.
Further, fig. 3 is a schematic circuit diagram of another elastic wave filter according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 4 is a schematic circuit diagram of another elastic wave filter according to an embodiment of the present invention, where, as shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4, a third type resonator 50 includes at least two interdigital transducers 501; at least two interdigital transducers 501 are arranged in parallel.
As a possible implementation, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 shows a solution where the third type resonator 50 includes two interdigital transducers 501, so that the third type resonator 50 includes two resonance peaks and two antiresonance peaks, i.e. notch fallback can be formed in the passband near the two resonance frequencies of the third type resonator 50, increasing the out-of-band rejection degree of the filter.
As another possible embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the third type resonator 50 shown in fig. 4 includes three or more interdigital transducers 501, so that the third type resonator 50 includes N resonant peaks and N antiresonant peaks, where N represents the number of interdigital transducers 501, that is, a plurality of notch drops are formed in a passband around the N resonant frequencies of the third type resonator 50, which is advantageous for further increasing the out-of-band suppression degree of the filter.
Optionally, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of another third type resonator according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, at least two interdigital transducers 501 disposed in parallel include a first interdigital transducer 5011 and a second interdigital transducer 5012, the first interdigital transducer 5011 and the second interdigital transducer 5012 are arranged along a first direction (X direction as shown in the drawing), and the first interdigital transducer 5011 and the second interdigital transducer 5012 share a first bus bar 502; the first interdigital transducer 5011 includes a first long-finger electrode 51 and a second long-finger electrode 52, the first long-finger electrode 51 and the second long-finger electrode 52 being arranged in the first direction X and each extending in the second direction (Y direction as shown in the drawing); the second interdigital transducer 5012 includes a third long-finger electrode 53 and a fourth long-finger electrode 54, the third long-finger electrode 53 and the fourth long-finger electrode 54 being arranged in the first direction X and each extending in the second direction Y; the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect; the period of the first interdigital transducer 5011 is different from the period of the second interdigital transducer 5012; the period of the first interdigital transducer 5011 is the pitch of two adjacent first long-finger electrodes 51 in the first direction X, and/or the period of the first interdigital transducer 5011 is the pitch of two adjacent second long-finger electrodes 52 in the first direction X; the period of the second interdigital transducer 5012 is the pitch of the adjacent two third long-finger electrodes 53 in the first direction X, and/or the period of the second interdigital transducer 5012 is the pitch of the adjacent two fourth long-finger electrodes 54 in the first direction X; the third type resonator 50 further includes a first open-circuit grid 5031 located between the first interdigital transducer 5011 and the second interdigital transducer 5012 along the first direction X, the first open-circuit grid 5031 extending along the second direction Y with a gap between the first bus bar 502 in the second direction Y.
Specifically, the first interdigital transducer 5011 and the second interdigital transducer 5012 are arranged in parallel along the first direction X and share the first bus bar 502, and thus the arrangement is simple, and when an ac signal of a certain frequency is applied to the first bus bar 502, a surface acoustic wave can be generated in the effective aperture area of the third type resonator 50. The effective aperture area, i.e., the active area, is understood to be the area where the first long finger electrode 51 and the second long finger electrode 52 overlap or the area where the third long finger electrode 53 and the fourth long finger electrode 54 overlap in the first direction X. The surface acoustic wave is mainly concentrated in the effective aperture area and mainly propagates along the first direction X, but there is also a part of the surface acoustic wave that propagates and leaks to the first bus bar 502 side along the second direction Y, so the reflective grating 504 is generally disposed at two sides of the effective aperture area along the first direction X to reduce the leakage of the surface acoustic wave, so that the loss of the acoustic wave energy can be reduced, and the Q value of the third type resonator 50 can be improved.
Specifically, the first interdigital transducer 5011 includes a first long-finger electrode 51 and a second long-finger electrode 52, and the second interdigital transducer 5012 includes a third long-finger electrode 53 and a fourth long-finger electrode 54. Illustratively, the first long-finger electrode 51, the second long-finger electrode 52, the third long-finger electrode 53, and the fourth long-finger electrode 54 may be real-finger electrodes. In the first interdigital transducer 5011, the first long-finger electrode 51 and the second long-finger electrode 52 are arranged along the first direction X and each extend along the second direction Y, forming a comb-shaped interdigital electrode structure; in the second interdigital transducer 5012, the third long-finger electrode 53 and the fourth long-finger electrode 54 are arranged in the first direction X and each extend in the second direction Y, forming a comb-shaped interdigital electrode structure.
It will be appreciated that with continued reference to fig. 5, the first interdigital transducer 5011 and the second interdigital transducer 5012 may further include dummy electrodes, i.e., short finger electrodes, which are alternately arranged in sequence along the first direction X and each extend along the second direction Y, and the extension length of the short finger electrodes along the second direction Y is smaller than the extension length of the long finger electrodes along the second direction Y.
Further, the period of the first interdigital transducer 5011 is different from the period of the second interdigital transducer 5012, that is, the electrode period of the first interdigital transducer 5011 is different from the electrode period of the second interdigital transducer 5012. Specifically, the period of the first interdigital transducer 5011 is the pitch λ1 of the adjacent two first long finger electrodes 51 in the first direction X, and/or the period of the first interdigital transducer 5011 is the pitch λ2 of the adjacent two second long finger electrodes 52 in the first direction X. It will be appreciated that λ1 may be the spacing between the centers of any two adjacent first long finger electrodes 51 along the first direction X, and similarly λ2 may be the spacing between the centers of any two adjacent second long finger electrodes 52 along the first direction X.
