ABSTRACT:
A filter circuit includes an acoustic surface-wave filter device having an input transducer comprised of a set of interleaved electrodes disposed on a first portion of a body of piezo-electric material adapted to propagate acoustic surface waves for producing an acoustic surface-wave signal in response to an input signal applied to the input transducer, and an output transducer comprised of a set of similar interleaved electrodes disposed on a second portion of the piezo-electric body spaced a selected distance from the first portion for receiving the acoustic surface-wave signals so as to produce a corresponding output signal having a selected frequency response. The frequency response (e.g., bandwidth) of the acoustic surface-wave filter device is controlled by selectively changing the number of conductor elements constituting the interleaved electrodes of the input and output transducers. An amplifier drives the acoustic surface-wave filter device, the gain and output impedance of the amplifier being changed as the frequency response of the acoustic surface-wave filter device changes, so as to compensate for corresponding changes in the insertion loss and input impedance of the filter device.
