Two-stage lateral bulk acoustic wave filter with capacitive coupling of counter electrode

An acoustic wave filter device with two-stage acoustic wave filters is provided. Each of the two stages includes a respective acoustic wave filter element. A first acoustic wave filter element (100a) includes a first input electrode (150a), a first output electrode (174a), and a first counter electrode (120a). The first input electrode and the first output electrode are located on a top surface of piezoelectric layer (650), and the first counter electrode is located on a bottom surface of the piezoelectric layer. A second acoustic wave filter element (100b) includes a second input electrode (154b), a second output electrode (174b), and a second counter electrode (120b). The second input electrode and the second output electrode are located on the top surface of the piezoelectric layer, and the second counter electrode is located on a bottom surface of the piezoelectric layer. The two acoustic wave filter elements are connected in series through a common floating electrode (602).
