Abstract: In this paper, we describe a high-performance TD-SCDMA bandpass filter based on film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) technology. The filter comprises a group of FBARs connected in a ladder configuration. Excellent quality factor greater than 1000 has been achieved at resonant frequency near 2 GHz for the FBAR. The TD-SCDMA FBAR filter has been fabricated and tested. The filter has low passband insertion loss of 1.7 dB and high stop-band rejection greater than 35 dB.
