Abstract
A bulk acoustic wave device that provides a high spectral purity, high Q, resonator in the radio frequency and microwave frequency ranges. Such resonators may be coupled together to form filters or other frequency selective devices. The bulk acoustical wave filter is constructed from a piezoelectric (PZ) material having a first surface and a second surface and first and second electrodes. The first electrode includes an electrically conducting layer on the first surface, and the second electrode includes an electrically conducting layer on the second surface. The first electrode overlies at least a portion of the second electrode, the portion of the first electrode that overlies the second electrode has a periphery which is a non-rectangular, irregular polygon. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the periphery is a three-sided, four-sided, or n-sided irregular polygon in which no two sides are parallel to one another.
