US 8,339,220 · App. 12/586,054 · Granted Dec 25, 2012

Abstract

Claims (8)

1. A SAW resonator filter comprising:

a SAW resonator;

a first inductive reactance in parallel with said SAW resonator for shifting the null points below and above the center frequency for establishing substantially symmetrical attenuation about the center frequency; and

a second inductive reactance in series with said SAW resonator to shift the series resonance point for flattening the series resonance and reducing attenuation at the center frequency.

2. The SAW resonator filter of claim 1 further including a first capacitance in series with said first inductive reactance for controlling location of said null points and adjusting the symmetry of attenuation.

3. The SAW resonator filter of claim 2 in which said first capacitance is variable.

4. The SAW resonator filter of claim 2 further including a second capacitance in series with said second inductive reactance for controlling the series resonance point for flattening the series resonance and reducing attenuation at the center frequency.

5. The SAW resonator filter of claim 4 in which said second capacitance is variable.
