Abstract
Packaged RF front end systems including a hybrid filter and an active circuit in a single package are described. In an example, a package includes an active die comprising an acoustic wave resonator. A package substrate is electrically coupled to the active die. A seal frame surrounds the acoustic wave resonator and is attached to the active die and to the package substrate, the seal frame hermetically sealing the acoustic wave resonator in a cavity between the active die and the package substrate.
