摘要:
Coupling devices for SAW's, which permit switching of SAW power between cnels. Channel waveguides are laid down on or in the surface of a substrate. The waveguides have a coupling region in which they are close to each other. The input waveguide is formed from a material whose acoustic wave velocity characteristic can be changed by an external means. Various means for altering the velocity of the SAW, such as electric or optical fields, are employed by applying them to the coupling region of the input waveguide.
摘要:
A surface acoustic wave transducer having a piezoelectric thin film, interdigital electrodes disposed on one side surface of said piezoelectric thin film and an apodized counter electrode disposed on the opposite-side surface of said piezoelectric thin film. The outline of the apodized counter electrode is composed of parallel edges parallel to fingers of the interdigital electrode and perpendicular edges perpendicular to the fingers. The parallel edges are positioned in gaps between the fingers, so as not to lie over the fingers. Such structure remarkably reduces the deviation of characteristics of the transducer due to the incomplete alignment of the counter electrode with the interdigital electrode.
摘要:
A surface acoustic wave reflective array of the kind in which parallel rows of scatterers produce Bragg reflection of an incident wave in a wanted direction at a given frequency determined by the row spacing. The rows (4) are formed of scattering centers, eg metallized dots (11) divisible into unit structures (10) each containing a group of at least two such centers; the orientation and relative spacings (in terms of the Bragg wavelength) of the centers within each unit, relative to the direction (Z) of an incident beam, are such that the scattered waves constructively interfere in the wanted direction (X) while avoiding constructive interference in other directions. The scattering centers of each unit structure may be in the same row or in adjacent rows. The invention alleviates a disadvantage of existing reflective dot arrays, which tend additionally to produce reflections in unwanted directions.

摘要:
A surface acoustic wave device comprising a piezoelectric substrate which comprises an .alpha.-alumina layer as a base region and a zinc oxide layer as a surface region formed on the .alpha.-alumina layer. Preferably the two layers are each made of a single crystal, and the thickness of the zinc oxide layer and an angle between a crystallographic axis of the zinc oxide single crystal and the direction of wave propagation are determined so as to fall within optimum ranges, respectively. This device features an increased phase velocity and an augmented value for the electromechanical coupling coefficient and accordingly is of use at very-high to ultra-high frequencies.
