Abstract

A surface-wave-type reflective delay line includes an input/output interdigital converter, and a plurality of surface wave reflectors. The surface wave reflectors are disposed at positions corresponding to an order of magnitude of half of a particular desired transit time of a surface wave between the input/output interdigital converter and an applicable surface wave reflector and back. At least some of the surface wave reflectors are each shifted by a mathematically random value out of the positions corresponding to half the particular desired transit time.
