ABSTRACT:
Acoustic surface wave devices of a novel class characterized by the provision of coupling means comprising at least several spaced filamentary electrical conductors extending over a first region and a second region for causing acoustic surface waves propagated across the coupling means in the first region to interact with acoustic surface waves propagated across the coupling means in the second region, by means of alternating electric signals induced on the filamentary electric conductors. The regions to be coupled are preferably formed on piezoelectric material, but modified forms of the coupling means can be made operable with other materials and suitable biassing fields. The described devices include acoustic beam width changing, impedance matching, track changing and phase-sensitive switching devices; a hybrid junction device, resonator and recirculating filter devices, tapped acoustic delay lines, unidirectional transducers, acoustic surface wave reflectors and mode discriminators, electrically-controlled acoustic beam switches and directional couplers, acoustic beam splitters, and means for reducing unwanted reflections of acoustic surface waves.
