The paper describes quasi-slanted SPUDTs with stepped electrodes. Using such transducers simplifies the fabrication of low-loss SAW filters for frequencies 400-600 MHz. To improve filter selectivity, two efficient simulation procedures have been developed, namely, the procedure of electrode withdrawal weighting of quasislanted SPUDTs and the procedure of simulating the effect of SAW diffraction on filter performance. The results of modeling and experiments for 385 MHz and 450 MHz WLAN filters are reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
