This paper presents the synthesis and circuit transformations of acoustic wave filters based on a transversal arrangement of the individual resonators. This configuration allows for the synthesis of any filter response without detrimental of the limited value of the electro-acoustic coupling coefficient. The synthesis can be performed in the low-pass domain to be latter transformed into the band-pass domain. This latter step results in significant differences between the low-pass and the band-pass responses in wideband stringent filters. This work, after an initial synthesis in the low-pass domain, directly applies the pass-band circuit transformation achieving a more accurate synthesized network even for wideband filters.
