Surface acoustic wave (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) duplexers of assessed quality - Part 1: Generic specification

IEC 62604-1:2022 is available as IEC 62604-1:2022 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 62604-1:2022 specifies the methods of test and general requirements for SAW and BAW duplexers of assessed quality using either capability approval or qualification approval procedures. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- the term "multiplexer" has been added to Clause 3.
NOTE In this document, SAW and BAW duplexers are treated simultaneously because both duplexers are used in the same manner especially in mobile phones and have the same requirements of characteristics, test method and so on.

Duplexeurs à ondes acoustiques de surface (OAS) et à ondes acoustiques de volume (OAV) sous assurance de la qualité - Partie 1: Spécification générique

IEC 62604-1:2022 est disponible sous forme de IEC 62604-1:2022 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L’IEC 62604-1:2022 spécifie les méthodes d’essai et les exigences générales pour les duplexeurs à OAS et à OAV dont la qualité est assurée par les procédures d’agrément de savoir-faire ou par les procédures d’homologation. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente:
- ajout du terme "multiplexeur" à l’Article 3.
NOTE Dans le présent document, les duplexeurs à OAS et à OAV sont traités simultanément, car ces deux duplexeurs sont utilisés de la même manière, en particulier dans les téléphones mobiles; ils ont en outre les mêmes exigences de caractéristiques, de méthode d’essai, etc.

SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVE (SAW) AND
BULK ACOUSTIC WAVE (BAW) DUPLEXERS
OF ASSESSED QUALITY –
Part 1: Generic specification
FOREWORD

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international

co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and

in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,

Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their

preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with

may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising

with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for

Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

interested IEC National Committees.

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between

any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent

rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

IEC 62604-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 49: Piezoelectric, dielectric and

electrostatic devices and associated materials for frequency control, selection and detection. It

is an International Standard.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2015. This edition

constitutes a technical revision.

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous

edition:
• the term "multiplexer" has been added to Clause 3.

NOTE In this document, SAW and BAW duplexers are treated simultaneously because both duplexers are used in

the same manner especially in mobile phones and have the same requirements of characteristics, test method and

so on.

The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
49/1360/CDV 49/1375/RVC

Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in

the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.

This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in

accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available

at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are

described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications.

A list of all parts in the IEC 62604 series, published under the general title Surface acoustic

wave (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) duplexers of assessed quality, can be found on the

IEC website.

The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the

stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the

specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

IMPORTANT – The "colour inside" logo on the cover page of this document indicates

that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding

of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a colour printer.
