Abstract

The longitudinal coupling of thin film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) is investigated in order to design coupled resonator filter (CRF). Such devices are dedicated to high-frequency filter applications. A scattering matrix algorithm that was already used to simulate simple FBARs devices is used to study the behavior of these structures. The principle of the algorithm is recalled and is explained how it can be adapted to the simulation of multiport devices. Then an example of filter design is given.
