Definitions

  • the invention relates to surface acoustic wave arrangements having at least two surface acoustic wave structures which are adjacent in the main wave propagation direction and in which the period of the fingers in the first surface acoustic wave structure is different to that of the fingers in the second surface acoustic wave structure, and/or they are shifted in phase with respect to one another.
  • low-loss filters having a broader bandwidth are required for telecommunications networks based on the EGSM Standard or for PCS/PCN.
  • DMS filters double mode surface acoustic wave filters
  • DMS filters are frequently used as low-loss, broadband filters with high selectivity for RF purposes, for example on a 42° rot YX—LiTaO 3 substrate or on a 36° rot YX—LiTaO 3 .
  • FIG. 1 One example of a simple single-track DMS filter is illustrated schematically in FIG. 1 .
  • This filter in this case comprises a track having input transducers E 1 and E 2 , which are arranged between two reflectors R 1 and R 2 , and the output transducer A.
  • the connections for the input and output transducers can also be interchanged, with A then representing the input transducer, and E 1 , E 2 the output transducers. It is also possible to connect the output transducer, or else the output transducers, of this one track to the input transducer, or input transducers, of a second parallel track. This allows the selectivity of the filter to be increased.
  • DMS filters have two separate resonant frequencies within one acoustic track, which define a transmission band.
  • the left-hand edge of the transmission band is governed by the lattice period, while the right-hand edge comes about due to the resonance between two mutually shifted surface acoustic wave structures (input and output transducers).
  • these two structures In comparison to a periodic lattice, these two structures have been shifted through a ⁇ x of approximately ⁇ /4 with respect to one another.
  • the distance ⁇ x in this case relates to the finger centers of adjacent (electrode) fingers of the surface acoustic wave structures.
  • one of the two end fingers is preferably broadened by approximately ⁇ /4, as is shown in FIG. 1 for the output transducer A at the junction to the two input transducers E 1 and E 2 . This is done in order to fill the gap between the two structures with a metallized surface, since any surface leakage wave is carried better under a metallized surface.
  • FIG. 2 shows, schematically, the profile of the finger period p in the region of the junction between two such transducer structures (surface acoustic wave structures) plotted against the position coordinate x, the propagation direction of the surface acoustic waves.
  • the bandwidth of surface acoustic wave filters is increased by increasing the metallization layer thicknesses and reducing the number of fingers. Both measures increase the losses at the junctions between the structures. In practice, these losses result in a reduction in the Q-factor of the transducer/transducer resonance, which defines the right-hand band edge, and thus in a reduction in the upper pass band range.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide low-loss broadband filters which avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages.
  • the junction region is formed by 5 to 8 fingers at the ends of the two surface acoustic wave structures.
  • the surface acoustic wave structures can be two interdigital transducers, or a reflector in combination with an interdigital transducer, or two reflectors.
  • the widths of the fingers of the two structure initially decrease and increase in the junction region and the structure having metallization ratio ⁇ of 0.7 to 0.8.
  • the arrangement may be a dual mode surface acoustic wave filter (DMS filter), with interdigital transducers which are used as input and output transducers being arranged between two reflectors in one acoustic track, and the surface acoustic wave structures being selected from interdigital transducers and reflectors.
  • the reflectors are connected to the ground.
  • the metallization height of the surface acoustic wave structures is in the region from 9 to 11% of the wavelength, which is associated with the surface acoustic wave structures, of the surface acoustic waves.
  • the arrangement can have three interdigital transducers which are arranged one behind the other between two reflectors with the central interdigital transducer, which is connected to a first connection, having a total of 27 to 35 electrode fingers and, in contrast, the two outer interdigital transducers, which are connected to a second connection, have a total of 20 to 24 electrode fingers.
  • the distances between the central interdigital transducer and the two outer interdigital transducers are of different magnitude.
  • the arrangement can be in the form of a two-track arrangement, with the finger periods of the reflectors in the two tracks being of different magnitude.
  • the arrangement can be in the form of a reactance filter with single-port resonators, with a junction between the different finger periods of an interdigital transducer and a reflector in at least one single-port resonator.
  • the invention results in a reduction in the transmission losses of the filter, which is evident in the improved insertion loss and, in particular, in the upper half of the pass band.
  • the useful bandwidth is thus increased, and there is no need for any external matching networks.
  • the losses at the junctions between surface acoustic wave structures with a different phase and/or a different finger period are thus considerably reduced, or entirely avoided, in that, according to the invention, a finger period which is less than the finger period of the adjacent surface acoustic wave structures is used at the junction points. This results in the onset frequency for volume wave emission being above the desired transmission band of the filter.
  • the junction between the surface acoustic wave structures is quasi-periodic, that is to say a quasi-periodic structure is formed in the region of the wave junction between two surface acoustic wave structures, which quasi-periodic structure forms a continuous transition between the finger period p and/or the phase of the final surface acoustic wave structure in that of the second surface acoustic wave structure.
  • the term surface acoustic wave structure covers both interdigital transducers and reflectors. Junctions may therefore occur, and be designed according to the invention, not only between two interdigital transducers, but also between an interdigital transducer and a reflector, and between two reflectors.
  • the invention can thus advantageously be used, in particular, for DMS filters and single-port resonators. In the latter, the reflectors have a different (greater) finger period than the interdigital transducer.
  • the finger width and the finger spacing are reduced continuously in order to reduce the finger period in the junction region.
  • ratio of the metallized surface to the unmetallized surface area within one period of the surface acoustic wave structure
  • FIG. 1 shows a known single-track DMS filter.
  • FIG. 2 shows the profile of the finger period of the known filter (see FIG. 1 ) along the position coordinate.
  • FIG. 3 shows the profile of the finger period for a surface acoustic wave arrangement according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4a shows two surface acoustic wave structures having a hard transition, in which,
  • FIG. 4b a surface acoustic wave arrangement having a junction according to the invention between two surface acoustic wave structures is shown for comparison.
  • FIG. 5 is a graph showing a comparison of the pass characteristic of filters according to the invention and known filters, based on measured curves.
  • FIG. 1 shows a known single-track DMS filter, in which two parallel-connected input transducers E 1 , E 2 , with an output transducer A between them, are arranged between two reflectors R 1 and R 2 .
  • In and Out denote the electrical connections for the input and output.
  • the finger period p which is a measure of the distances between the fingers, is defined in the following text as the distance which extends from the center of the free space between two fingers to the center of the next free space between two adjacent fingers.
  • the output transducer A is shifted with respect to the two input transducers E 1 and E 2 , with the finger period in each case having a discontinuity at the E 1 /A and A/E 2 junctions between two mutually shifted transducers.
  • FIG. 2 shows the profile of the finger period of these transducers in the region of the junction between transducer E 1 and the transducer A.
  • the shift of the two transducers with respect to one another is expressed in an abruptly rising finger period which then falls, likewise abruptly, once again to a constant value.
  • the same hard transition can be seen between the two transducers A and E 2 which have been shifted with respect to one another.
  • the two outer end fingers of the transducer A have been broadened in order to fill the gap between the two structures with a metallized surface.
  • FIG. 3 shows the profile of the finger period p for a surface acoustic wave arrangement according to the invention, in the region of the junction between a first surface acoustic wave structure St 1 and a second surface acoustic wave structure St 2 .
  • the finger period p varies continuously in the region of the junction, where it also has a lower value than in either of the two structures St 1 or St 2 . Outside the junction region, that is to say within the two structures St 1 and St 2 , the finger period assumes a constant value, which may differ from one surface acoustic wave structure to another surface acoustic wave structure.
  • the surface acoustic wave structure may in this case be an interdigital transducer or a reflector, in which case the junction may occur between a transducer and a transducer, or between a transducer and a reflector.
  • FIG. 4 uses an exemplary embodiment to show how the junction between two mutually shifted surface acoustic wave structures St 1 and St 2 may be configured according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4a shows a known hard transition, as has already been described with reference to FIG. 1 .
  • one of the two boundary fingers has been broadened.
  • FIG. 4b shows the junction designed according to the invention.
  • the finger period p has in this case been reduced continuously over the last three fingers of the structure St 1 , and likewise rises continuously once again over the outermost three fingers in the adjacent structure St 2 . This arrangement considerably reduces the scattering losses at the junction between the two structures, in comparison to a known arrangement with a hard transition.
  • a junction designed according to the invention and, for example, as shown in FIG. 4b is simple to manufacture since neither the finger widths nor the finger spacings differ too severely from “normal” finger widths and finger spacings.
  • FIG. 5 shows the transmission curves for three surface acoustic wave filters which have surface acoustic wave structures that have been shifted with respect to one another.
  • the DMS filter illustrated in FIG. 1 is used as an example, whose transmission response is shown by the transmission curve 1 in FIG. 5 .
  • the transmission curve 2 is obtained for a DMS filter as shown in FIG. 1 , but having a continuous finger period profile. In this structure, the finger at the end is not broadened, but the greater separation between the two structures on both sides of the junction is distributed over the respective outermost three fingers, so that a locally increased finger period occurs at the junction.
  • a DMS filter designed in this way has an even worse transmission response than the filter shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the transmission curve 3 was measured with a DMS filter designed according to the invention, in which the finger period in the region of the junction of the two mutually shifted transducers (surface acoustic wave structures) has been reduced, with an additional finger being inserted, in comparison to the SAW filter which is known from FIG. 1 .
  • both the finger width and the finger spacing decrease continuously toward the junction, in both transducers.
  • FIG. 5 shows, such a filter designed according to the invention has a better transmission response, which is indicated by reduced attenuation and a more uniform transmission curve.
  • the reduced attenuation particularly in the region of the right-hand edge of the transmission curve, is achieved by the reduced scattering losses in the region of the junction.
  • DMS filters are specified as an exemplary embodiment in the following text, these being suitable for the EGSM system which has a nominal bandwidth of 35 MHz at a mid-frequency of 942.5 MHz.
  • Lithium tantalate LiTaO 3 with a 42° rot YX crystal cut is used as the substrate.
  • the metallization for the surface acoustic wave structures is applied with a thickness which amounts to 9 to 11 percent of the associated wavelength, for example 420 nm. This provides the required bandwidth of 35 MHz.
  • the quasi-periodic transition of the finger period between the two shifted transducers can be distributed over a total of five to eight fingers.
  • the total number of electrode fingers in transducer A (see FIG. 1 ) is preferably chosen to be in the range from 27 to 35, and the total number of fingers in the transducers E 1 and E 2 to be in the range from 20 to 24. This results in a filter which is optimized in terms of ripple and flank gradient.
  • the selectivity required for EGSM is obtained with a filter having two tracks whose junction is designed according to the invention.
  • the aperture is chosen to be between 50 ⁇ and 70 ⁇ , in order to obtain input and output impedances of 50 ⁇ .
  • the entire filter with a surface acoustic wave arrangement according to the invention may also be used in embodiments which can be operated symmetrically/asymmetrically.
  • a symmetrical signal is present at the two connections, which has the same absolute amplitude at both connections, but with the opposite mathematical sign, or a phase difference of 180°.
  • a further application of the invention is in DMS filters which can be operated symmetrically/asymmetrically and in which the input and output impedance differ.
  • the input or output impedance can be adjusted by weighting or by vertical or horizontal splitting of the transducers into transducer element structures, as is proposed, for example, in the two prior German Patent Applications 197 24 258.8 and 197 24 259.6.
  • a further refinement relates to a filter which is in the form of a two-track arrangement, with the finger periods p of the reflectors (R) in the two tracks being of different magnitude.
  • the invention can likewise be used in a resonator filter in which the junction between a mutually shifted transducer and reflector is designed according to the invention.
  • a reactance filter comprising a number of single-port resonators connected in series and/or in parallel and having a junction between the different finger periods (p) of the interdigital transducer and reflector can be formed in at least one single-port resonator.
