Abstract: A surface acoustic wave (SAW) device includes: a substrate, an interdigitated transducer including a plurality of interdigitated fingers disposed on a first surface of the substrate, and a reflector including a plurality of gratings also disposed on the first surface. At least one of: (1) a first group of the interdigitated fingers has a first finger pitch and a first finger metal pitch ratio, and a second group of the interdigitated fingers has a second finger pitch different from the first metal pitch and a second metal pitch ratio different from the first metal pitch ratio; and (2) a first group of the gratings has a first grating pitch and a first grating metal pitch ratio, and a second group of the gratings has a second grating metal pitch different from the first grating metal pitch and a second grating metal pitch ratio different from the first grating metal pitch ratio.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a plurality of resonators forming a filter. At least one of the resonators includes (i) a plurality of interdigital transducers positioned in a common acoustic track and (ii) a plurality of reflectors configured to reflect acoustic waves from the interdigital transducers back to the interdigital transducers. At least one reflector is positioned between adjacent interdigital transducers. The interdigital transducers in one of the resonators could be coupled in parallel or in series between an input and an output of that resonator.
