Abstract

A new wideband SAW resonator has been developed for SAW-VCOs used in mobile radio communication transceivers. The resonator is based on a repeated structure of pairs of electrically connected IDTs, which provides a high Q and a wide frequency bandwidth. An experimental SAW-VCO module measuring 8×8 mm² offers a frequency-variation bandwidth of about 20 MHz, a C/N of 75 dB, and an output power of 3-4 dBm at 900 MHz, satisfying the specifications for Japanese MCA and business-use radio transceivers
