Surface acoustic wave tapped delay line

摘要

A surface acoustic wave device having spaced tapping output transducers disposed in the path of surface acoustic wave energy propagating along a planar substrate surface from an input transducer. The device including an ion-etched groove array disposed in the planar surface between the tapping transducers to reduce acoustic wave reflections at desired frequencies within a desired passband and suppress spurious signal-producing surface acoustic wave reflections.
