Abstract

A surface acoustic wave device for generating an output signal with only a symmetric or only an asymmetric vibration acoustic wave mode in a piezoelectric substrate. The device has first and second transversely spaced transducers and the device is driven from both the first and second transducers. A third transducer is between and acoustically coupled to the first two transducers. The electrodes of all three transducers are arranged with respect to each other so as to cause only a symmetrical acoustic vibration mode or only an asymmetrical acoustic vibration mode in the piezoelectric substrate.
