  • Abstract
    A resonator using shear waves of lithium niobate is used in this paper to achieve large fractional bandwidth BAW filter. Electromechanical couplings in the 20 - 50 % range are obtained for the shear waves of a thin layer of Lithium Niobate suspended on a silicon substrate. By this way a filter with fractional bandwidth over 20% has been designed for space applications.
