Abstract
A surface acoustic wave device is provided with plural sets of input and output transducers arranged on a piezoelectric substrate with the input transducers and the output transducers being connected electrically in parallel, respectively. In order to minimize a loss which occurs due to the parallel connections of the input and output transducers, aperture dimensions of either the input transducers or the output transducers are selected such that static capacitances of the respective transducers are equal.
Claims4
A surface acoustic wave device having interdigital input and output transducers arranged on a piezoelectric substrate, with at least said input transducers having a combination of a plurality of interdigital transducers electrically connected in parallel by common bus bars,
- wherein aperture dimensions of said interdigital transducers of said combination of said input transducer are selected such that any pair of said interdigital transducers of said input transducer presents a substantially equal static capacitance in each pair.
A surface acoustic wave device having interdigital input and output transducers arranged on a piezoelectric substrate, with at least said output transducers having a combination of a plurality of interdigital transducers electrically connected in parallel by common bus bars,
- wherein aperture dimensions of said interdigital transducers of said combination of said output transducer are selected such that any pair of said interdigital transducers of said output transducer presents a substantially equal static capacitance in each pair.
In a surface acoustic wave device including an acoustic wave propagating substrate, an input transducing system disposed on said substrate responsive to an input electrical signal applied thereto for launching an acoustic surface wave along said substrate, and an output transducing system disposed on said substrate responsive to said wave for developing an output electrical signal, said improvement comprising:
- at least one of the input or output transducing systems comprising a plurality of transducers connected in parallel, each transducer having a different frequency characteristic and the same static capacitance.
