Abstract

The design and performance of wideband low-loss surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filters employing interdigitated interdigital transducers (IIDTs) suitable for cellular radio systems are described. The filters were fabricated on 36° YX-LiTaO₃ substrates. A detailed design method which optimizes the IIDT configuration has been worked out. In the 500-MHz band, fractional bandwidths of up to 5.2% with passband ripples smaller than 1 dB were attained. Insertion loss and sidelobe suppression were at 1.8 dB and 23 dB, respectively
