Abstract
A surface acoustic wave device comprises a piezoelectric substrate, and an input transducer and an output transducer formed on the substrate. Dummy transducers are formed on the substrate and arranged to extend from the ends of the input and output transducers toward the ends of the substrate. The dummy transducers individually include electrodes spaced at the same pitch as the electrode pitch in the input and output transducers. Accordingly, there is no occurrence of reflections of the surface acoustic wave at the ends of the input and output transducers.

A surface acoustic wave device comprising:
- a piezoelectric substrate;
- input and output transducers formed on said substrate and arranged diagonally opposite each other, said input and output transducers individually including a pair of comb-like electrodes;
- a multistrip coupler formed on said substrate and interposed between said input and output transducers, said coupler including a plurality of filamentary conductors;
- dummy transducers formed on said substrate and arranged to extend from the outer ends of said input and output transducers toward the ends of said substrate, respectively, said dummy transducers individually including a plurality of electrodes spaced at substantially the same pitch as the electrode pitch in the respective input and output transducers;
- and
- dummy transducers formed on said substrate and arranged to extend from the opposite ends of said multistrip coupler toward the ends of said substrate, respectively, said dummy transducers individually including a plurality of electrodes spaced at substantially the same pitch as the conductor pitch in said multistrip coupler.
