Efficient RF voltage transformer with bandpass filter characteristics

• A microwave bandpassfilter with a large ratio between the output andthe input impedance has been designed and fabricated. Consequently,it functions both as a voltage transformer and a bandpassfilter, or trans-filter for brevity. It represents a two-port micro-acoustic resonatoremploying Lamb waves in a thin piezoelectric AlNfilm grown ontoa Si carrier substrate with a centre frequency of around 887 MHz.The transfilter has a transformer ratio of 10 and a voltage efficiencyof over 80%. The component has a small size ( < 0.5 mm2) and isshown to sustain power levels of 250 mW. It can be used in avariety of cases where both voltage amplification and frequencyfilter-ing are required. Examples include: charge pumps in RFID tags,energy scavenging, remotely triggered switches, wake-up radios inwireless networks, stand-by units in home electronics etc.
