The proposed program will provide experimental verification of a new monolithic low-loss saw transducer structure. The structure is a single phase unidirectional transducer (spudt) but avoids the problems encountered by previous spudt structures. The advantages of the structure include ease of fabrication and adequate reflectivity for both wide band and narrow band filters. The structure also avoids the problems associated with the recently announced "natural spudt" in which all transducers have their forward acoustic ports pointing in the same direction.

The phase I program demonstrated feasibility of an innovative new low loss saw transducer structure, the electrode width controlled single phase unidirectional transducer (ewc/spudt). This monolithic transducer overcomes the limitations of previous low loss saw filters which will greatly expand its potential uses in military and commercial systems. The phase II program will concentrate on accurately measuring the properties of the ewc/spudt so that accurate filter synthesis is possible. Also, filter synthesis techniques will be developed and demonstrated by designing a low loss 300 mhz bandpass filter.
