Impedance for passband matching bases on an ideal, perfect matching of the SAW filter to source- and to load
impedance (here 50 Ohm). After removal of the SAW filter the input impedance of the input and output matching network is calculated. The conjugate complex value of these characteristic impedances are the input and
output impedances for flat passband. For more details we refer to EPCOS application note #18.

Minimising the crosstalk
For a good ultimate rejection a low crosstalk is necessary. Low crosstalk can be realised with a good
RF layout. The major crosstalk mechanism is caused by the “ground-loop” problem.
Grounding loops are created if input-and output transducer GND are connected on the top-side of
the PCB and fed to the system grounding plane by a common via hole. To avoid the common
ground path, the ground pin of the input- and output transducer are fed to the system ground plane
(bottom PCB plane) by their own via hole. The transducers’ grounding pins should be isolated from
the upper grounding plane.
A common GND inductivity of 0.5nH degrades the ultimate rejection (crosstalk) by 20dB.
The optimised PCB layout, including matching network for transformation to 50 Ohm, is shown
here. In this PCB layout the grounding loops are minimised to realise good ultimate rejection
Optimised PCB layout for SAW filters in DCC6E package, pinning 2,4 (top side, scale 1:1)
The bottom side is a copper plane (system ground area). The input and output grounding pins are
isolated and connected to the common ground by separated via holes.
For good contact of the upper grounding area with the lower side it is necessary to place enough
via holes.

important notes at the end of this document.

ESD protection of SAW filters
SAW filters are Electro Static Discharge sensitive devices. To reduce the probability of damages
caused by ESD, special matching topologies have to be applied.
In general, “ESD matching” has to be ensured at that filter port, where electrostatic discharge is
expected.
Electrostatic discharges predominantly appear at the antenna input of RF receivers. Therefore
only the input matching of the SAW filter has to be designed to short circuit or to block the ESD
pulse.
Below two figures show recommended “ESD matching” topologies.
Depending on the input impedance of the SAW filter and the source impedance, the needed
component values have to be determined from case to case.

Effectiveness of the applied ESD protection has to be checked according to relevant industry
standards or customer specific requirements.

RoHS-compatible means that products are compatible with the
requirements according to Art. 4 (substance restrictions) of Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council of June 8th, 2011, on the restriction of the use of certain
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment
("Directive") with due regard to the application of exemptions as
per Annex III of the Directive in certain cases.

Important notes
The following applies to all products named in this publication:
1.

Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for
certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical
requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We
nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding
statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application.
As a rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar
with them than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately
incumbent on the customer to check and decide whether an EPCOS product with the
properties described in the product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer
application.
We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or
failure before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the
current state of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications
requiring a very high level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in
which the malfunction or failure of an electronic component could endanger human life or
health (e.g. in accident prevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by
means of suitable design of the customer application or other action taken by the customer
(e.g. installation of protective circuitry or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained
by third parties in the event of malfunction or failure of an electronic component.
The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.
In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this
publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.
because they are classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our
Material Data Sheets on the Internet (www.epcos.com/material). Should you have any more
detailed questions, please contact our sales offices.
We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this
publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product
specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications
contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order.
We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently, we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be
available. The aforementioned does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating
from the foregoing for customer-specific products.
Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to the current
version of the “General Terms of Delivery for Products and Services in the Electrical
Industry” published by the German Electrical and Electronics Industry Association
(ZVEI).
