Abstract
Aspects of this disclosure relate to an acoustic wave resonator having at least two resonant frequencies. An acoustic wave filter can include series acoustic wave resonators and shunt acoustic wave resonators together arranged to filter a radio frequency signal. A first shunt resonator of the shunt acoustic wave resonators can include an interdigital transducer electrode and have at least a first resonant frequency and a second resonant frequency. Related acoustic wave resonators, multiplexers, wireless devices, and methods are disclosed.
