Abstract
The transmission (Tx) and receiving (Rx) passbands of the Personal Communication Services (PCS) mobile phone system in the US are 1850–1910 MHz and 1930–1990 MHz, respectively. The transition bandwidth between Tx and Rx is very narrow, 20 MHz. A duplexer for the US-PCS employing surface acoustic waves (SAWs) requires a substrate which has good temperature stability, an optimum electromechanical coupling factor, a large reflection coefficient, and a good resonant mechanical Q value. Previously, there did not exist any substrate suitable for the US-PCS SAW duplexer. In this paper, we describe a new substrate that is suitable for the US-PCS SAW duplexer and a US-PCS SAW duplexer constructed with this new substrate.
