Abstract
Compensation of on-die inductive parasitics in ladder filters through negative mutual inductance between ground inductors is disclosed herein. An exemplary ladder filter includes a primary arm of series resonators and two or more shunt resonator arms connecting nodes between the series resonators to ground. The resonators of the ladder filter are disposed over a semiconductor substrate, to form a circuit die. Constructed ladder filter dice may fail to achieve design filter rejection due to inductive parasitics (e.g., undesired magnetic induction between components). A first shunt arm and a second shunt arm are provided with mutual negatively coupled inductors in order to compensate for these parasitics and improve filter performance.
