Wideband double-mode bulk acoustic wave resonator filters on lithium niobate using periodically slotted electrodes

Abstract: This paper discusses applicability of periodically slotted electrodes for realization of wideband transversely-coupled double-mode resonator filters using lithium niobate (LN) thin plate. First, two-dimensional analysis is carried out, and it is shown that the periodic structure is effective to control the frequency separation between two resonance modes, and synthesis of the fractional bandwidth larger than 24% is achievable. Next, 3D analysis is performed for suppression of spurious resonances. It is shown that the mass loading at aperture edges is effective for the piston mode operation, and transverse modes can be well suppressed. It is also pointed out that the bottom electrode should be covered only the aperture region and removed from the busbar and gap regions for suppression of unwanted resonances. With these proper edge treatments, spurious-free and wide passband can be synthesized.

Photonic Microwave and RF Channelizers using CMOS Compatible Kerr Micro-combs

We report broadband RF channelizers based on integrated optical frequency Kerr micro-combs combined with passive micro-ring resonator filters, with microcombs having channel spacings of 200GHz and 49GHz. This approach to realizing RF channelizers offers reduced complexity, size, and potential cost for a wide range of applications to microwave signal detection.
