Filter device with phase compensation, and electronic devices including same

Abstract

Phase shift circuits including two or more slanted-finger IDT electrodes, and filters, duplexers, or other electronic devices incorporating same. In one example a filter includes a main filter circuit connected between an input and an output and having a first phase characteristic, and a phase shift circuit connected in parallel with the main filter circuit, the phase shift circuit including first and second capacitor elements and a pair of acoustic wave elements connected in series between the first and second capacitor elements, the pair of acoustic wave elements including a pair of slanted-finger IDT electrodes disposed apart from each other on a single acoustic wave path along which acoustic waves propagate through the acoustic wave elements, the phase shift circuit having a second phase characteristic opposite to the first phase characteristic in an attenuation band that corresponds to at least a portion of a stopband of the main filter circuit.
