Abstract

A surface acoustic wave device having substantially all of the surface wave energy produced at an input transducer coupled to the output utilization means. Plural reflecting means upon the surface of a piezoelectric substrate reflect surface waves produced by the input transducer in plural directions. The passband characteristics of the device are determined by the interaction of the transfer properties of each of the reflecters as well as those of the input and output transducers. Devices are described having extremely low insertion loss and wide bandwidth with low sidelobes and steep passband skirts.
