Abstract: There is described an electro-acoustic device, comprising a piezo-electric substrate and a first transducer and second transducer supported by the substrate and each including a pair of interdigital transducer electrode arrays, the electrodes of the arrays being interleaved with each other. The first and second transducer are disposed opposing each other in a propagation direction of acoustic waves excited by the first and second transducers. The first transducer has a first electric signal associated with and existing across, and the second transducer has a second electrical signal associated with it which has a different phase from the first electrical signal. The first and second transducers are spaced apart such that substantially in-phase acoustic waves propagating in the substrate and incident on the first transducer in-phase with the first electric signal and on the second transducer in-phase with the second electrical signal.
