“…In good approximation, the losses are assumed to directly lead to uniform local heating at the corresponding resonator area. Thus, the electrical losses at R s , R m , and R p are summarized and fed to an ETP [8]. Therefore, the analogy between electrical and thermal quantities is used [22].…”

“…Therefore, current simulation models of acoustic resonators and filters have to be extended, or new modeling approaches have to be developed in order to include phenomena, such as the local distribution of temperature increase under high-power excitation. Recently, mainly bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filter devices are under investigation in terms of thermal behavior, and corresponding modeling approaches are developed [8]- [15]. There are also studies that relate thermal effects in acoustic resonators to nonlinear electrical behavior [16], [17].…”

In this article, an electrothermal modeling approach of surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators and filters is presented. The starting point for the model is a preliminary design that has to be assessed for thermal aspects. Due to the high geometrical complexity of SAW components, simplifications are elaborated and qualified on resonator and filter levels to prepare the design for thermal simulation. A thermal model is created and simulated in a finite-element method environment. The simulated behavior is exported as a thermal impedance and implemented in a circuit model of a SAW filter. The layout's electromagnetic behavior is taken into account. Electrothermal models of the SAW resonators and the bus bars are developed. The interface to the thermal impedance is achieved by the use of electrothermal ports. The dynamic effect of the frequency shift is included. Verification is done by a comparison of the temperature increase of a resonator in a filter test structure to a corresponding simulation model. The filter is excited by a radio frequency large signal, and the temperature is detected by the use of a resistive temperature sensor. A simulation that shows the impact of mutual heating between the resonators in a filter environment is performed.
