Abstract

A bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filter (40) is fabricated from thin film bulk acoustic wave resonators and a method eliminates unwanted side passbands. This BAW filter comprises a substrate (14) a resonator section (11) and an acoustic mirror section (12). Further it comprises a detuning component (31) positioned in the resonator section (11) to provide precise passband characteristics and an additional detuning component (41) in the acoustic mirror section (12) to suppress unwanted side-passband characteristics.
