Abstract
An improved DMS filter with electrode structures between a first port and a second port is provided. Wiring junctions are realized in multilayer crossing with dielectric material in between. There are insulating patches (L2) between crossing conductor layers (L1,L3). Signal wirings may be realized with multiple conductor layers (L1, L3) to reduce wiring resistance and the upper conductor layer (L3) of the signal wiring may partly overlap the insulating patches (L2). The insulating patches (L2) may extend over the acoustic path to achieve temperature compensation.
