Surface Acoustic Wave Devices in Communications

Marija Hribšek, PhD (Eng)

 

Operating principles and analyses of transversal surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are reviewed. Design procedures are given for different types of devices such as bandpass filters, delay lines and dispersive delay lines. Their capabilities and their wide and diverse applications in communications are also presented.

Key words: SAW device, transversal filter, SAW filter, RAC filter, delay line, telecommunications.
