    • 摘要: 5G射频前端对滤波器的工作频率、插入损耗及带外抑制提出了更高的要求,基于压电异质衬底的声表面波(SAW)滤波器是潜在解决方案之一。文中基于蓝宝石基单晶钽酸锂薄膜异质集成衬底(LTOS)实现了一种高频低损耗滤波器。通过对比实验证明了蓝宝石(Sapphire)衬底可以有效降低射频损耗。文中采用多零点方案设计滤波器,并利用倾斜电极抑制横向高阶模,实现了平坦的滤波器通带。制备的谐振器在3 GHz以上实现了高达1 823的Q值;制备的滤波器中心频率为3.61 GHz,最小插入损耗为1.25 dB,3 dB带宽为112 MHz,带外抑制约40 dB且通带平坦。

       

      Abstract: The 5G radio frequency (RF) front-end puts forward higher requirements for the operating frequency, insertion loss, and out-of-band rejection of the filter. Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters based on piezoelectric heterogeneous substrates are one of the potential solutions. In this paper, a high-frequency and low-loss filter was realized based on the Sapphire-based single-crystalline lithium tantalite thin film heterogeneous integrated substrate (LTOS). Through comparative experiments, it is proved that using Sapphire substrate can effectively avoid RF loss. The filter was designed with a multi-zero, and the tilted electrode was used to suppress the higher-order transverse modes, so as the flat filter passband was achieved. The fabricated resonator achieves a Q value of 1 823 above 3 GHz, while the fabricated filter shows a center frequency of 3.61 GHz, the minimum in-band insertion loss of 1.25 dB, the 3 dB bandwidth of 112 MHz, the out-of-band rejection of about 40 dB and a flat passband.
