Abstract

A surface acoustic wave filter which includes a first terminal at the input side, a second terminal at the output side, a plurality of resonators electrically connected between the first and the second terminals, and a piezoelectric substrate provided on the upper surfaces of first and second terminals and the plurality of resonators. The piezoelectric substrate is made to have a thickness that is not thicker than 0.2 mm. The filtering characteristic of surface acoustic wave filter can be improved by taking advantage of the above structure.

Claims (28)

1. A surface acoustic wave filter comprising:

a first terminal;

a second terminal;

a resonator electrically connected between the first terminal and the second terminal; and

a piezoelectric substrate provided on the upper surfaces of the first terminal, the second terminal, and the resonator,

wherein a thickness of the piezoelectric substrate is not thinner than 0.075 mm and not thicker than 0.2 mm.

2. The surface acoustic wave filter of claim 1 , wherein

the piezoelectric substrate is mounted flip chip on a base substrate, and

the piezoelectric substrate is resin-sealed and packaged.

3. The surface acoustic wave filter of claim 1 , wherein

the piezoelectric substrate is formed of a material LiTaO 3 or LiNbO 3 .

4. The surface acoustic wave filter of claim 1 , wherein

a signal of 1800 MHz˜2300 MHz transits between the first terminal and the second terminal.

5. A surface acoustic wave duplexer comprising:

a transmitting terminal;

a receiving terminal;

an antenna terminal;

a first resonator electrically connected between the transmitting terminal and the antenna terminal;

a second resonator electrically connected between the receiving terminal and the antenna terminal; and

a piezoelectric substrate provided on the upper surfaces of the transmitting terminal, the receiving terminal, the antenna terminal, the first resonator, and the second resonator,

wherein a thickness of the piezoelectric substrate is not thinner than 0.075 mm and not thicker than 0.2 mm.

6. The surface acoustic wave duplexer of claim 5 , wherein

the piezoelectric substrate is mounted flip chip on a based substrate, and

the piezoelectric substrate is resin-sealed and packaged.
