Abstract :
The key issues for the new generation of SAW filters will be enhanced functionality, miniaturization and integration. The possibilities of realization of miniature RF-SAW device with high frequencies on CMOS substrate for new generation of mobile and wireless communication system is described in this paper. The optimal design and performance of these filters can be reached by using new smart materials and profiting of advances in MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) technology. Simulation results are presented using new thin films as piezoelectric materials and transducers.
