Fundamental and overtone aluminum nitride dual mode resonator filters
This paper reports post-CMOS compatible aluminum nitride dual mode resonator filters that realize 4th order band-pass filters in a single resonator device. Dual mode filters at 106 MHz operating in their fundamental mode are reported with insertion losses as low as 5.5 dB when terminated with 150 Ω. A notching technique is demonstrated for varying the 3 dB bandwidth of these filters from 0.15 to 0.7%, overcoming a significant limitation of previous work. Dual mode filters operating at their 5th and 10th overtones are reported scaling the operating frequencies of this class of device to 0.55 and 1.1 GHz.
