    Perea Robles, Rafael; Mateu Mateu, Jordi; Collado Gómez, Juan Carlos (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    This work provides a new procedure to synthesize acoustic wave ladder filters starting with series resonators. The novelty of this method relies in a new synthesis methodology to extract a series inductance in filter ...
  • Transversal filters based on stacked crystal filters with spurious mode suppression 

    Yusuf, Yazid; Gimenez, Alfred; AlJoumayly, Mudar; Mateu Mateu, Jordi; Collado Gómez, Juan Carlos (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)
    Conference lecture
