Resonant circuit, filter, and antenna duplexer
View Patent ↗There is provided a resonant circuit includes a resonator, an inductor connected in parallel with the resonator, and a capacitor connected in parallel with the resonator. There are also provided a filter and an antenna duplexer having the above-described resonant circuit.
1. An antenna duplexer comprising:
an antenna terminal:
a receive filter and a transmit filter that are connected to the antenna terminal, the receive filter being a ladder type filter and the transmit filter being a ladder type filter;
a resonator connected between the receive filter and the antenna terminal;
an inductor connected in parallel with only the resonator; and
a capacitor connected in parallel with only the resonator;
wherein the capacitor has a capacitance value equal to or more than 0.2 times a capacitance value of the resonator.
2. The antenna duplexer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the resonator is either a surface acoustic wave resonator or a piezoelectric thin-film resonator.
3. The antenna duplexer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the capacitor and the inductor is formed on an identical substrate on which the resonator is formed.
4. The antenna duplexer as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the capacitor is a surface acoustic wave interdigital transducer.
5. The antenna duplexer as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the capacitor is a MIM capacitor.
6. The antenna duplexer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the capacitor is a MIM capacitor having a dielectric material that is shared with a material of a package on which the resonator is mounted.
7. The antenna duplexer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the capacitor and the inductor is formed on a substrate different from the substrate on which the resonator is formed.
8. The antenna duplexer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the capacitor and the inductor is a chip capacitor or a chip inductor provided outside of a package on which the resonator is mounted.
9. The antenna duplexer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inductor is formed as a line pattern in a package on which the resonator is mounted.
