Abstract

An optimum design technique for balanced surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters is proposed. First of all, in order to evaluate the performance of balanced SAW filters by the computer simulation, a numerical model of balanced SAW filters is derived by using mixed-mode scattering parameters. Then the structural design of balanced SAW filters is formulated as a function optimization problem that aims to improve their balance characteristics and satisfy specifications for filter characteristics. Furthermore, in order to solve the function optimization problem successfully, a simple and efficient global optimization method, i.e., the differential evolution (DE), is employed.
