An L-section DC electric field switchable bulk acoustic wave solidly mounted resonator filter based on Ba 0.5S r 0.5 TiO 3

This paper reports on the modeling, fabrication, and experimental results of a voltage switchable barium strontium titanate solidly mounted resonator filter at 6 GHz. The filter insertion loss was measured to be -4.26 dB and the return loss to be -13.5 dB. The 3-dB bandwidth was measured to be 72 MHz and the quality factor was calculated to be 83. The data were collected at a dc bias voltage of 10 V. Temperature data were also collected, and the filter demonstrated a 0.71-dB increase in insertion loss and a 7-MHz decrease in center frequency with increase in temperature.
