Abstract

A new class of multi-band acoustic-wave-Iumped-ele-ment-resonator (AWLR)-based bandstop filters (BSFs) is reported. It is based on N multi-resonant A WLRs-shaped by K AWLRs and 2K inverters-that are connected to an all-pass network and result in K N th order rejection bands. The proposed concept allows the realization of multiple rejection bands with the following characteristics: i) fractional bandwidths (FBWs) larger than the electromechanical coupling coefficient pmb k t 2 of its constituent acoustic-wave resonators, ii) continuously variable and inde-pendently-controlled FBWs, iii) intrinsically-switched stopbands, and iv) an all pass state. For proof-of-concept validation purposes a dual-band prototype was designed, built, and tested. It exhibits two stopbands centered at 418 and 433 MHz that can be continu-ously-tuned in FBW (up to 7.7:1 tuning range) and in number.
