Abstract

An acoustic surface wave device comprising a monocrystalline body of piezoelectric material having a launching and receiving transducer applied to a planar ASW propagation surface. The piezoelectric material and the orientation of the propagation surface and the axial propagation direction relative to the crystal axes are selected to provide zero piezoelectric coupling between the transducers and a longitudinal axial bulk wave and that one of the two shear axial bulk waves that has substantially no component of particle motion perpendicular to said propagation surface. A method of manufacturing the aforesaid ASW device is also disclosed.
