A filter working with surface acoustic waves comprises a piezoelectric substrate (SU), a first transducer (IDT1) arranged in the acoustic track coupled to an input, having a first mean finger period (pi) assigned to a centre frequency of a pass band of the filter and a second transducer (IDT2) arranged in the acoustic track coupled to an output, having the same first mean finger period (p1), and a reflector arranged between first and second transducer having a second mean finger period (p2) assigned to a stop band frequency different from the centre frequency. Further, a new type of very broad bandwidth filters with small insertion loss and high return loss and high rejection are given that use a substrate that can propagate a PSAW and comprises fan shaped transducers.
