Abstract

See full text

A method of designing an acoustic microwave filter in accordance with frequency response requirements comprises generating a modeled filter circuit design having a plurality of circuit elements comprising an acoustic resonant element defined by an electrical circuit model that comprises a parallel static branch, a parallel motional branch, and one or both of a parallel Bragg Band branch that models an upper Bragg Band discontinuity and a parallel bulk mode function that models an acoustic bulk mode loss. The method further comprises optimizing the modeled filter circuit design to generate an optimized filter circuit design, comparing a frequency response of the optimized filter circuit design to the frequency response requirements, and constructing the acoustic microwave filter from the optimized filter circuit design based on the comparison.
