Abstract
A surface acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate, and an interdigital transducer provided on the piezoelectric substrate, wherein the piezoelectric substrate includes at least two piezoelectric ceramic layers made of a polycrystalline material. The at least two piezoelectric ceramic layers are stacked so that electrical characteristics and mechanical characteristics thereof vary in a direction that is substantially perpendicular a surface of the piezoelectric substrate upon which the at least two ceramic piezoelectric layers are stacked.
