Acoustic Wave Transversal Filter for 5G N77 Band

This work presents the complete synthesis procedure and circuit transformations needed to go from the characteristic polynomials to the transversal network formed by electroacoustic resonators. This filter topology allows the possibility to achieve any filter response in spite of limited electroacoustic coupling. This is crucial for obtaining very wideband filters with arbitrary positions of transmission zeros. Additional circuit transformations reveal the flexibility of such topology to control other important parameters of the acoustic filter such as the impedance of the resonators and their resonant frequencies, which directly affect the manufacturing process. The transversal topology for electroacoustic filters has been verified by the synthesis, design, fabrication, and measurement of a very wideband filter to meet the requirements of 5G N77 frequency band, centered at 3.75 GHz with 910 MHz of bandwidth.
