    摘要: An interdigital transducer for use in a surface acoustic wave filter has two busbars of an irregular shape to reduce the effect of internally reflected surface waves. The busbars will usually have an identical shape to one another and have stepped outer and inner edges. The distance between a portion of the outer edge and a corresponding portion of the inner edge can be constant for a particular busbar or that distance can vary. With previous busbars, the outer and inner edges are linear and each busbar has a rectangular shape.

    摘要: A spectrum analyzer incorporates a 36.degree. Y cut lithium niobate Bragg cell provided on one face with an interdigital transducer. The 36.degree. Y cut maximizes the ratio of quasi-longitudinal to quasi-shear wave piezoelectric coupling with the interdigital transducer and thereby minimizes the output of spurious signals from the analyzer. In a preferred embodiment the Bragg cell comprises two lithium niobate crystals bonded by a metal (preferably gold) film, the crystal attached to the transducer being 36.degree. Y cut and the other crystal being cut so as to maximize acousto-optic coupling.

    摘要: A filterbank using surface acoustic wave technology and having a plurality of filters. Each filter has an input transducer and an output transducer. The input transducers are connected in parallel to a single matching circuit. The output transducers each have a separate matching circuit. The transducers are formed by a thin film of aluminum pattern on a piezoelectric substrate. The input transducers all have the same structure and the output transducers all have the same structure, though that structure is different from the input transducers. The only difference between the transducers of each filter is the location of electrode breaks for each electrode. A weighting function of the transducers is scaled and biased to provide a constant impedance across the bandwidth of the filterbank and to equalize the output amplitudes and capacitances of the output transducers. This produces a continuous level response across the bandwidth of the filterbank. Previously, while a continuous level response was theoretically achievable, it cannot be achieved in practice.
