A SAW resonator filter using not only transverse but also longitudinal modes is presented. The design principle permits to construct four-pole filters without cascading or parallel connection. The input and output transducers arranged side by side have equal construction characterized by unsymmetrical withdrawing weighting. Neighboring disturbing longitudinal modes are suppressed due to weighting determined by an iterative procedure. The successful application of the principle to a device is demonstrated by experimental measurements.

SPUDT cells including two fingers are only known thus far for so-called NSPUDT directions. In that case, usual solid-finger cells are used. The purpose of the present paper is to find SPUDT cell types consisting of two fingers only for pure mode directions. Two-finger (TF) cells for pure mode directions on substrates like 128°YX LiNbO(3) and YZ LiNbO(3) were found by means of an optimization procedure. The forward direction of a TF-cell SPUDT on 128°YX LiNbO(3) was determined experimentally. The properties of the new cells are compared with those of conventional SPUDT cells. The reflectivity of TF cells on 128°YX LiNbO(3) turns out to be two to three times larger than that of distributed acoustic reflection transducer (DART) and Hanma-Hunsinger cells at the same metal layer thickness.
