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 match-
ing 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 #4.

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 QCC8B package, pinning 2,6 (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.
