Description

Cross-coupled acoustic filter
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a cross-coupled acoustic filter, and in particular to a capacitive cross-coupled acoustic filter.
Background
In recent years, with the progress of mobile communication systems, portable information terminals and the like have rapidly spread. Related efforts have been made to develop the terminal to reduce the size and improve the performance thereof. Both analog and digital are used in mobile telephone systems. Piezoelectric surface acoustic wave filters or film bulk acoustic wave (SAW or FBAR) resonator filters have been proposed for use in devices of mobile communication systems.
Fig. 1A to 1C are circuit diagrams showing an acoustic filter using an FBAR according to the related art, respectively. In the prior art shown in fig. 1A, an electromagnetic LC filter circuit 00 and a ladder-type FBAR network cascade formed by FBAR resonators 131-133 are used, and the left/right roll-off and near stop band suppression of the filter are modified by connecting two parallel branches FBARs with an inductor/capacitor 20. However, the adopted mode can only independently trim the roll-off and the inhibition of one side, and the inhibition of two sides cannot be controlled simultaneously.
In the prior art shown in fig. 1B, the tuning of the resonant frequency of the FBARs 101, 102 in parallel with the additional capacitances 103, 104 is used to optimize the roll-off coefficient and in-band matching of the entire filter/duplexer, but this approach belongs to the self-tuning of the FBARs themselves, belongs to the intrinsic tuning, and cannot generate additional transmission zeros and transmission poles.
In the prior art shown in fig. 1C, the effect of enhancing the sideband roll-off in the traditional duplexer is achieved by adopting a mode that the electromagnetic LC network 11 is connected with the FBAR 12 in series, and the mode belongs to simple performance superposition, increases the matching difficulty of the antenna end while increasing the insertion loss, and is not beneficial to practical application.

Detailed Description
The features of the technical solution of the present application and its technical effects are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in combination with exemplary embodiments, and a cross-coupled acoustic filter is disclosed. It should be noted that like reference numerals refer to like structures and that the terms "first," "second," "upper," "lower," and the like as used herein may be used to modify various device structures. These modifications, unless specifically stated, do not imply a spatial, sequential, or hierarchical relationship to the modified device structures.
As shown in fig. 2, A cross-coupled acoustic filter according to the principles of the present invention includes A series-parallel network of A plurality of first acoustic resonators (fbars) and A plurality of inductors between A first (input) terminal A and A second (output) terminal B, wherein m (m is an integer equal to or greater than 3) first FBAR resonators S1, S2 … Sm are sequentially connected in series to form A series main loop, N (where N is an integer equal to or greater than 4) parallel branches are connected at one end to m-1 nodes N1, N2 … Nm "1 between adjacent first FBAR resonators and/or at the first end of the series main loop, the other end is grounded, N parallel branches are sequentially numbered, each parallel branch includes at least one second acoustic resonator, that is, each parallel branch includes A second FBAR resonator P1, P2 … Pm 1 connected in series to ground, preferably, the respective parallel branches may have additional zero-level coupling effected beyond Pm 1, pm 2L …, and no additional zero level coupling is effected thereto. At least 2 capacitive coupling structures C1, C2 … Cm-3 are coupled between m-1 nodes and preferably the difference in the number of the node coupled at the first end (e.g., N1, N2) and the number of the node coupled at the second end (e.g., N3, N4) of each coupling structure is greater than or equal to 2 such that the node coupled at the first end of the latter coupling structure is between the two coupling nodes of the former coupling structure. The first end of at least one coupling leg is connected between the first end and the second end of the other coupling leg, and the second end of the at least one coupling leg is connected outside the first end and the second end of the other coupling leg. Preferably, a matching circuit is further included between the input terminal a and the series main circuit, and in the embodiment of fig. 2, the matching circuit includes a capacitor C0 (only shown in series, actually may be parallel, or a plurality of LCs connected in series and parallel in the figure), and in the embodiment of fig. 2, the matching circuit further includes a matching circuit between the output terminal B and the series main circuit, and in the embodiment of fig. 2, the matching circuit includes an inductance L0 (only shown in parallel, actually may be connected in series, or a plurality of LCs connected in series and parallel in the figure) connected in parallel or in series in parallel in the figure, so as to adjust the loading phase of the filter to meet the basic chebyshev filtering function. Preferably, the coupling structures are all capacitive, and the capacitive negative coupling structure brings about a function of suppression increase on both sides of the passband and in-band interpolation loss optimization. It is further preferred that at least one of the coupling structures is an inductance and the remaining part is a capacitance (i.e. the coupling structure is partly a capacitance), the addition of coupling structures of different polarity also producing a similar effect as capacitive coupling.
Fig. 3A shows an N79 full band filter made up of cross-coupled acoustic filters with a frequency band of 4.4-5GHZ according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Where m is selected to be 5, both coupling structures are capacitors C1, C2, and the four inductances attached to the parallel branches are l1= 1.07911pH, l2= 1.54999pH, l3= 3.19846pH, and l4= 1.10204pH, respectively, for ports C0, e.g., 0-50pf, L0, e.g., 0-50nH, L1-L4, 0-10nH. Wherein L2 and L3 are important parts for expanding the bandwidth of the whole filter, the action mechanism is that the series resonance frequency of P2 and P3 is reduced, and the equivalent electromechanical coupling coefficient (kteff) which is the difference value representing the resonant frequency of the FBAR is increased, so that the bandwidth is expanded. The two coupling capacitors are loaded between P1 and P3 and between P2 and P4, increasing near-stop band rejection and roll-off on both sides of the filter. As described with reference to fig. 2, the matching circuits, i.e., the matching devices C0 and L0, on both sides adjust the respective phases.
Fig. 3B shows the insertion loss of the cross-coupled acoustic filter of fig. 3A, where the horizontal axis is frequency GHz and the vertical axis is insertion loss dB. The curve marked by the broken line in the figure is the circuit simulation result before the cross coupling is not added, and the solid line is the insertion loss of the new scheme. It can be obviously seen that after the coupling capacitor is added, zero is added to the right side of the near-stop band, the near-stop band inhibition on the two sides is enhanced by 5-10dB, and collapse occurs to a certain extent on the right side of the pass band.
Fig. 4A shows an N79 full band filter made up of cross-coupled acoustic filters with a frequency band of 4.4-5GHZ according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention. Where m is chosen to be 5, two coupling structures are Lc and Cc, four inductors attached to the parallel branches are l1= 0.992685pH, l2= 1.99773pH, l3= 4.09519pH and l4= 1.19841pH, respectively, C0, e.g. 0-50pf, L0, e.g. 0-50nH, alternatively L1-L4 are chosen to be 0-10nH at the ports. Wherein L2 and L3 are important parts for expanding the bandwidth of the whole filter, the action mechanism is that the series resonance frequency of P2 and P3 is reduced, and the equivalent electromechanical coupling coefficient (kteff) which is the difference value representing the resonant frequency of the FBAR is increased, so that the bandwidth is expanded. The coupling inductance Lc and the coupling capacitance Cc are respectively loaded between P1 and P3 and between P2 and P4, so that near-stop band suppression and roll-off on both sides of the filter are increased. The matching devices C0 and L0 on both sides adjust the respective phases.
Fig. 4B shows the insertion loss of the cross-coupled acoustic filter of fig. 4A, where the horizontal axis is frequency GHz and the vertical axis is insertion loss dB. The curve marked by the broken line in the figure is the circuit simulation result before the cross coupling is not added, and the solid line is the insertion loss of the new scheme. Compared to pure capacitive coupling, it can be seen that the lower sideband (the frequency band below the lower edge of the passband) has a significant enhancement in suppression level and an additional transmission zero is added. At the same time, the upper sideband (the frequency band above the upper edge of the passband) rejection also remains at a level of 30 dB.
According to the acoustic filter of the present invention, a plurality of cross-coupling structures of different polarities are introduced on the FBAR ladder network, additional transmission zeroes are added, suppression on both sides of the passband is increased and in-band insertion loss is optimized.
While the invention has been described with reference to one or more exemplary embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various suitable changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings disclosed without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the device structure and method of making the same will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the present invention.
