Abstract
This paper presents a particular type of GHz frequencies high-quality Silicon integrated filters using BAW resonators. By enhancing BAW resonators with active Silicon “intelligence”, process and temperature variations of such high quality factor band-pass filters may be compensated. After presenting some theoretical aspects, this paper presents the design of a frequency tunable BAW filter together with the implementation of its tuning circuitry. System-in-Package (SiP) co-integration aspects between Silicon and BAW technologies are also presented.
