Focusing transformers/filters in isotropic/anisotropic piezoelectrics
A focusing interdigital transducer (IDT) and corresponding single- and dual-port piezoelectric devices are disclosed. The focusing interdigital transducer, which generates Lamé acoustic waves, permits operation at significantly higher frequencies than those possible with traditional IDTs. The focusing IDT employs multiple arced fingers formed both above and below the piezoelectric layer to improve coupling efficiency by coupling through both the e31 and e33 piezoelectric coefficients to the piezoelectric layer. By optimizing both anchor design and location, acoustic wave losses are minimized, thereby improving the device's quality factor Q. Through proper bus design and selection of the number of IDT fingers, a device's impedance can be tuned for a given application. The focusing IDTs may be used in single-port filter devices and dual-port transformer devices. The single- and dual-port devices may operate at a single frequency, at two frequencies, or over a band of frequencies.
