Abstract
Microwave Acoustic Resonators and Filters are key components in the RF frontend carrier aggreation architectures in mobile phones for frequency duplexing and filtering. Laterally excited bulk wave and fin bulk resonators are attractive for 5G applications. For full-duplex architectures non-reciprocal acoustic filters and acoustic delay-element-based sequentially switched delay-line circulators are presented. Finally, tunable frequency agile resonators are presented with a potential to reduce the ever increasing complexity of the RF frontends.
