Abstract

Cette invention se rapporte à des premier et second filtres à ondes acoustiques (103 et 104), qui sont connectés en parallèle de sorte que les phases de leurs signaux électriques émis en direction des première et seconde bornes de sortie (102a et 102b) peuvent être différentes l'une de l'autre d'environ 180° et ont des bandes passantes légèrement différentes. Ces filtres sont formés sur un substrat piézo-électrique entre une borne d'entrée (101) et les bornes de sortie (102a et 102b). Ces filtres à ondes acoustiques (103 et 104) ainsi connectés dans un seul étage possèdent des impédances d'entrée-sortie faibles dans la bande passante. La taille de la puce du composant est réduite et ledit composant possède d'excellentes caractéristiques de fréquence, qui sont à peu près équivalentes à celles de filtres à ondes acoustiques connectés en série dans deux étages.
