    摘要: Acoustic wave devices employing shallow bulk acoustic waves rather than surface acoustic waves, to provide higher frequencies of operation and other significant advantages, such as less susceptibility to aging and less sensitivity to surface contamination. In each embodiment of the invention, a transmitting transducer and a receiving transducer are oriented on the surface of an anisotropic piezoelectric crystal to achieve substantial coupling of shallow bulk acoustic waves and essentially zero coupling of surface acoustic waves. In one embodiment of the invention, various types of grating filters utilize shallow bulk acoustic waves, and a set of parallel mechanical or electrical discontinuities at or near the surface of the crystal provide reflection of acoustic energy at a frequency determined by the spacing of the discontinuities. Uniformly spaced gratings provide bandpass filter operation, and gratings with graduated spacings provide for frequency compression or expansion. In another embodiment of the invention, variations in device characteristics due to temperature changes are compensated for by directing the shallow bulk waves through materials having favorable or opposite temperature characteristics compared with those of the material into which the waves are originally launched. In other embodiments of the invention, a shallow bulk acoustic wave includes a multistrip coupler, for transferring electroacoustic energy from one propagation path to another, for use in bandpass filters, delay lines or unidirectional transducers.

    摘要: A surface acoustic wave (SAW) chirp signal processor having a piezoelectric substrate, an array of input transducers and an array of output transducers. In its chirp compression mode, the device has chirp signals applied in parallel to its input transducers and produces compressed output pulses at its output transducers, corresponding to selected chirp rates. The input transducers are successively offset with respect to a focal point on the array of output transducers, by distances that successively and linearly increase or decrease from transducer to transducer, consistent with the increase or decrease in the wavelength of the chirp signals. The device may also be used in a pulse expansion mode, by inputting a broadband pulse into a selected one of the output transducers. The input transducers then produce a chirp signal having a rate corresponding the selected to output transducer.

    摘要: A magnetostatic wave (MSW) device for performing spectral analysis of an input signal containing signal components of very high frequency, well in excess of 1 GHz (gigahertz). An input transducer array couples the input signal to a magnetostatic propagating medium, such as a film of yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG), in such a manner that the array effectively provides multiple wave sources spaced along a predetermined arc on the propagating medium, and the waves combine constructively at frequency-dependent points in a focal region of the medium, spaced apart from the input array. Output transducers located at these frequency-dependent points generate output signals indicative of various selected frequency components of the input signal.

    摘要: A surface acoustic wave filter device having an input transducer and an output transducer, in which triple transit effects are minimized by the addition of a second output transducer spaced from the input transducer, preferably by a distance three times the spacing between the normal input and output transducers, to duplicate the triple transit path length. A triple transit signal is thereby simulated at the second output transducer, is adjusted in amplitude and phase, and is applied to a summing circuit in which the simulated triple transit signal is subtracted from a signal derived from the original output transducer, to effectively cancel the triple transit component.

    摘要: A surface acoustic wave (SAW) device and a related method, for providing improved frequency response characteristics from a SAW spectrum analyzer or channelizer. The device includes a spectrum analyzer with a preprocessing SAW device configured to provide output signals with narrower passbands, lower sidelobe components, or both. The preprocessing SAW device is a tapped delay line in one embodiment, to simulate positional offsets in the placement of input transducers of the analyzer. The tapped delay line can also be used to provide amplitude weighting or can be configured in a chirp spacing, to transform the spectrum analyzer into a chirp analyzer. Another embodiment employs a thinned-electrode prefilter as the preprocessing device, to yield a frequency response with multiple narrow passbands, which are used to narrow the individual channel passbands of the spectrum analyzer or to suppress sidelobes in the frequency response.

    摘要: A surface acoustic wave (SAW) device, and corresponding method, for expanding or contracting the time scale of an input signal that varies in time but is limited to a predetermined time interval. One embodiment of the invention achieves time expansion or compression by means of two Fourier transformations providing different chirp rates, and implemented in a form that includes only five SAW dispersive delay lines. In the illustrative version of this embodiment, three of the dispersive delay lines are used in conjunction with multipliers or mixers, and two are used as convolvers. Another embodiment of the invention uses only three SAW dispersive delay lines, two in conjunction with multipliers and one located between the multipliers to effect the desired time-scale change. A third embodiment of the invention employs a SAW tapped delay line and an associated set of gates to select successive data bit signals from successive output taps in the delay line. A SAW fill-in filter is used to fill in inter-bit gaps resulting from the use of the tapped delay line.
