Scattering analysis of two-port SAW resonators

Abstract

Linear equations derived from the scattering matrix approach to the two-port resonator were solved, and analytical expressions for the normalized SAW amplitudes were obtained. Asynchronous and synchronous resonators were analyzed numerically. It was shown that the output of the two-port resonator is a sum of two signals. In the case of the asynchronous resonator, these signals are in phase at a resonance frequency; for the synchronous resonator, they are in phase quadrature, which causes the higher insertion loss of the synchronous resonator.
