Abstract
The invention describes a tunable filter arrangement with a plurality of resonators which are coupled to one another and of which there is at least one which comprises a piezoelectric component made of a ferroelectric material and to which a DC voltage source is connected. The application of a DC voltage to the resonator renders it possible to change its electrical properties and thus the overall filter characteristic. Furthermore, a transmitter, a receiver device, and a mobile telephone device with such a filter arrangement are disclosed, aswell as a tunable bulk acoustic wave resonator.
