Abstract:

Many frequency control operations for wireless and satellite communication systems are provided by acoustic solid-state devices in the operating frequency range from 10 MHz to 3 GHz. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) device technology is a key technology because it is solid state, monolithic, high performance, and low cost. An important parameter is the versatility and simplicity in device fabrication since many techniques developed by the integrated circuit industry can be applied.
