This work presents a methodology for designing microwave acoustic filters, based on two-port bulk acoustic wave resonators (also known as stacked crystal filters), with either Butterworth or Chebyshev response. The presented methodology makes it possible to design this type of filter without any optimization work, and, moreover, for its closed-form expressions design can be obtained. As a validati

Piezoelectric thin films have existing and promising new applications in microwave filter technologies. The final performance depends on many parameters, and very specifically on the materials properties of each involved material. In this article, materials and properties for thin-film bulk acoustic wave resonators are discussed on some selected issues: the piezoelectric coefficients and acoustic
