Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW) is the acoustic wave that propagates along the surface of the substrate with amplitude decaying exponentially away from the surface. A basic SAW device consists of two IDT’s on a piezoelectric substrate such as quartz. Surface Acoustic Wave can be ... Read More
Electroacoustic resonators employing surface acoustic waves (SAW) are commercially widely used in RF filters, low noise frequency sources as well as various sensors. In all of these applications the resonance quality factor appears to be a limiting performance factor. Quite often ... Read More
Design of SAW devices needs the accurate study of the scattering fields, arising from the interaction of SAW with topographic irregularities. To solve this problem FE methods very perspective, because with its help one can take into account the actual geometry of the electrodes and ... Read More
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are commonly used as wireless filters, resonators, and sensors. The confinement of acoustic energy near the surface of a piezoelectric substrate in a SAW sensor makes it highly sensitive for discerning surface perturbation. As sensors, SAW devices have ...
