Abstract

A low-loss acoustic wave filter includes a piezoelectric substrate, a first strongly unidirectional acoustic wave transducer and a second strongly unidirectional acoustic wave transducer. Each of the first and second strongly unidirectional acoustic wave transducers are acoustically coupled to one another. Each of the first and second strongly unidirectional acoustic wave transducers further comprises an acoustic wave reflector and a weakly unidirectional acoustic wave transducer. The acoustic wave reflector and the weakly unidirectional acoustic wave transducer are coupled to the piezoelectric substrate.
