Abstract

The disclosure relates to differential input/output surface acoustic wave devices with proximity coupling. The disclosed device comprises a whole number N of acoustic channels, where N is at least equal to two. The acoustic channels are coupled together by proximity. A first acoustic channel comprises at least one transducer separated into several parts electrically connected in parallel with one another to form a first differential port (E+) and a second differential port (E-). The polarities of the different parts of the transducer are chosen so that the first differential port (E+) and the second differential port (E-) are electrically symmetrical. Application in particular to surface acoustic wave filters for portable telephones.
