Analysis Technique for Asymmetrically Coupled Resonator Structures

Asymmetrical acoustically coupled structures are present in several acoustic applications. Specifically when they are used in filter design, some configurations provide unexplored and special response characteristics with high selectivity and relatively wide bandwidths. The relationships between geometries, configurations, and response specifications do not rely on a direct link. In this work, a novel approach to the analysis of these structures is presented as well as a model of an asymmetrical bulk acoustic wave coupled resonator filter obtained from the analysis presented.
