Abstract

An input transducer for a surface wave filter with a transfer function T(F) the inverse Fourier transform of which is a function I(t) having maxima the amplitude of which vary within wide limits; such an input transducer comprises at least two elemental transducers of which one has a pulse response comprising the high-amplitude maxima of I(t), while the other(s) has/have a pulse response comprising maxima equal to n times the low-amplitude maxima of I(t); the first is fed by the signal to be filtered; the other(s) is/are fed by a signal equal to 1/n of the signal to be filtered. Such a transducer arranged at one end of a piezoelectric substrate of which the other end comprises a wide-band output transducer, provides for the construction of high quality filters.
