Abstract
To ensure that surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters fulfill the requirements of Carrier Aggregation (CA) applications, the development of modeling tools that can forecast and simulate high-frequency spurious responses has been necessary. This paper presents an advanced methodology for extending the coupling-of-modes (COM) model to obtain precise modeling of the high-frequency spurious responses of incredible high-performance surface acoustic wave (I.H.P. SAW) devices. The extended COM (ECOM) model is derived by modifying the conventional COM model and extending it accordingly. The parameters used in this model are determined through numerical fitting. For validation, firstly, the ECOM model is applied to a one-port synchronous I.H.P. SAW resonator, and the simulation and measurement results match. Then, the structural parameters of the ECOM model are varied, and the accuracy of the model after the structural parameters are varied is verified. It is demonstrated that this model can be applied to the design work of SAW filters. Finally, the ECOM model is applied to the design of the I.H.P. SAW filter based on a 42°YX-LiTaO3 (LT)/SiO2/AlN/Si structure. By using this method, the I.H.P. SAW filter's high-frequency spurious response can be predicted more accurately.
