SAW Filter Operating in a Balanced/Unbalanced Manner

A SAW filter has two DMS tracks. Each DMS track includes six converters, with two converters each acting as input or output converters. The two DMS tracks are electrically connected in series by way of four pairs of coupling converters and the associated coupling lines. A common inner ground line is provided between the two DMS tracks, which extends over the entire length of the DMS tracks and crosses the coupling lines. The input converters of the first DMS track are connected to an asymmetrical port, while the output converters of the second DMS track are connected to a symmetrical port.
