Abstract

Compound surface acoustic wave matched filters comprise chirp-biphase and biphase code multiplex transducer pairs on piezoelectric substrates. Both alternatives offer significantly improved processing gain when compared with conventional biphase filters. The advantage is realized by convolving the correlation peak of the chirp or biphase input transducer on the response of the conventional biphase output transducer, thus achieving a large processing gain with a minimum number of transducer electrodes.
