Abstract
This paper describes a wide-band surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter designed to achieve large stop-band attenuation. The SAW filters using slanted finger interdigital transducers are suitable for mid- or wide-band filters. To achieve a stop-band attenuation of more than 80 dB, two SAW filters using slanted finger unidirectional transducers (SFUDTs) were cascaded. Since these SFUDT filters have center-to-center distances that differ by one-fourth of the acoustic wavelength at the center frequency, the triple transit echo was effectively compensated. A cascaded-pair SFUDT SAW filter with a fractional bandwidth of 15 percent was designed and fabricated on a 128°Y-X LiNbO3 substrate. An insertion loss of 14 dB, amplitude ripples of 0.5 dB and stop-band attenuation of 80 dB or more were achieved.
