ABSTRACT:
A single-chip piezoelectric resonator using SH type surface waves has an interdigital transducer formed on a piezoelectric substrate. The interdigital transducer is designed to have two or more resonance characteristics, for example, by using a pair of thinned-out comb-shaped electrodes with mutually interlocking fingers protruding towards each other. Such an interdigital transducer may be formed also by using a pair of comb-shaped electrodes with the lengths of their mutually pointing fingers varied. A trap circuit with two sufficiently separated trap frequencies and improved attenuation characteristics at these two trap frequencies can be formed by forming two interdigital transducers of the kind described above on a single piezoelectric substrate so as to provide two resonant units each having two resonance characteristics. Alternatively, two piezoelectric resonators of the kind described above may be connected in parallel to provide two resonance characteristics. The attenuation characteristics can be further improved by inserting an inductor connected between the interdigital transducers and/or another inductor between a signal receiving terminal on one of the interdigital transducers and an input terminal through which signal are received by the trap circuit.
