Abstract
The band-pass filter has first terminals, second terminals, a first decoupled stacked bulk acoustic resonator (DSBAR), a second DSBAR, and an electrical circuit connecting the first DSBAR and the second DSBAR in series between the first terminals and the second terminals. Each DSBAR has a first film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR), a second FBAR and an acoustic decoupler between the FBARs. Each FBAR has opposed planar electrodes and a piezoelectric element between the electrodes.
