1. An acoustic galvanic isolator, comprising:

  • a carrier signal source;

    a modulator connected to receive an information signal and the carrier signal;

    a demodulator; and

    connected between the modulator and the demodulator, an electrically-isolating acoustic coupler comprising exactly one decoupled stacked bulk acoustic resonator (DSBAR),wherein the DSBAR comprises a first film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR), a second FBAR, and an electrically-insulating acoustic decoupler between the FBARs, andwherein the electrically-insulating acoustic decoupler comprises at least one of;

    (1) an electrically-insulating acoustic Bragg structure;

    (2) a quarter-wave thick layer of acoustic coupling material; and

    (3) at least one layer of crosslinked polyphenylene polymer.
