Acoustic wave filter with low noise amplifier and balun

Abstract

A front-end module may include an acoustic wave filter with a first and second interdigital transducer electrode, and a low noise amplifier (LNA) that converts a differential input to a single-ended output with respect to ground. The first interdigital transducer electrode may be single-ended with a first input bus bar configured to receive an input signal and a second input bus bar connected to ground. The second interdigital transducer electrode may be differential with a first output bus bar connected to a first output terminal and a second output bus bar connected to a second output terminal. The LNA may have a differential input connected to the acoustic wave filter, a first input transistor that receives a first signal from the first output terminal of the acoustic wave filter, and a second input transistor that receives a second signal from the second output terminal of the acoustic wave filter.
