Abstract

An arrangement for testing substrate material intended for use in surface acoustic wave devices such as delay lines; the arrangement includes a plurality of electrical and physical evaluations of the material in quantities suitable for a manufacturing environment. In one evaluation acoustic wave energy developed in a tooling jig mounted transducer is mechanically coupled to successive material samples and the resulting output waveforms compared to expected results while in other evaluations the polarized light indicia and chemical reagent determined properties of the material samples are considered.
