Embodiments of the acoustic galvanic isolator comprise a carrier signal
source, a modulator connected to receive an information signal and the
carrier signal, a demodulator, and an electrically-isolating acoustic
coupler connected between the modulator and the demodulator. The acoustic
coupler comprises no more than one decoupled stacked bulk acoustic
resonator (DSBAR). An electrically-isolating acoustic coupler based on a
single DSBAR is physically small and is inexpensive to fabricate yet is
capable of passing information signals having data rates in excess of 100
Mbit/s and has a substantial breakdown voltage between its inputs and its
outputs.
