Abstract
A new wideband SAW resonator has been developed for SAW-VCO's used in mobile radio communication transceivers. The resonator is based on a r epeated structure of pairs of electrically connected IDT's, which prov ides a high Qu and a wide frequency bandwidth. An experimental SAW-VCO module measuring 8 x 8 mm(2) offers a frequency-variation bandwidth o f about 20 MHz, a C/N of 75 dB, and an output power of 3-4 dBm at 900 MHz, satisfying the specifications for Japanese MCA and business-use r adio transceivers.
