Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are recognized for their versatility and efficiency in controlling and processing electrical signals. Basically, we may think of a SAW device as consisting of a solid substrate with an input and an output transducer. The input transducer converts the incoming signal by the inverse piezoelectric effect into acoustic waves, which propagate along the planar surface of the solid. At the output transducer, the surface acoustic waves are reconverted to an electrical signal.
