A filter is disclosed. The filter can be a band pass filter or a band rejection filter. The filter can have bulk acoustic wave resonators. The filter can include a shunt bulk acoustic wave resonator and a series bulk acoustic wave resonator. The shunt bulk acoustic wave resonator and the series bulk acoustic wave resonator include different raised frame structures. The different raised frame structures contribute to one of the shunt bulk acoustic wave resonator or the series bulk acoustic wave resonator to have a higher quality factor below a resonant frequency than the other.

Filters with bulk acoustic wave devices

A filter with bulk acoustic wave devices is disclosed. The filter includes a first bulk acoustic wave resonator and a second bulk acoustic wave resonator. The first bulk acoustic wave resonator includes a first raised frame structure. The first raised frame structure is a multi-layer raised frame structure. The second bulk acoustic wave resonator includes a second raised frame structure. The first raised frame structure has at least one more raised frame layer than the second raised frame structure.

Aspects of this disclosure relate to multiplexers with that include an acoustic wave resonator. The acoustic wave filter includes a plurality of acoustic wave resonators of a first type and a shunt acoustic wave resonator of a second type. The shunt acoustic wave resonator of the second type has lower second harmonic distortion than the acoustic wave resonators of the first type. The shunt acoustic wave resonator of the second type has a resonant frequency in a passband of another filter of the multiplexer. Related radio frequency modules, wireless communication devices, and methods are also disclosed.

Aspects of this disclosure relate to multiplexers with acoustic wave resonators. The multiplexer includes a first filter and a second filter. The first filter includes a plurality of bulk acoustic wave resonators and a shunt surface acoustic wave resonator. The shunt acoustic wave resonator can have a resonant frequency in a passband of the second filter. The passband of the second filter is below a passband of the first filter. In certain applications, the first filter is a receive filter and the second filter is a transmit filter.

Multiplexer with filter including different types of acoustic wave resonators

Bulk acoustic wave resonators of two or more different filters can be on a common die. The two filters can be included in a multiplexer, such as a duplexer, or implemented as standalone filters. With bulk acoustic wave resonators of two or more filters on the same die, the filters can be implemented in less physical space compared to implementing the same filters of different die. Related methods, radio frequency systems, radio frequency modules, and wireless communication devices are also disclosed.

Method for forming multiple bulk acoustic wave filters on shared die

Aspects of this disclosure relate to a multiplexer that includes at least a first filter having a first passband and a second filter having a second passband. The first filter includes acoustic wave resonators coupled to a common node by a series inductor. The acoustic wave resonators start with a shunt acoustic resonator from the common node. The series inductor and the shunt acoustic resonator of the first filter are together arranged to increase a reflection coefficient of the first filter in the second passband.
