Abstract
Abstract A surface acoustic wave (SAW) waveguide-coupled resonator filter is overcoupled to produce an essentially constant conductance and susceptance over at least the bandwidth of a desired notch filter. The SAW resonator filter is embedded in a bridged-T allpass circuit to provide the pair of equal capacitances of the circuit, and the resonator ground is connected to one terminal of the parallel inductor of the circuit having the other terminal connected to a system ground.
