  • Patent number: 7449812
    Abstract: An electroacoustic transducer includes a first electrode having first fingers connected to a first bus bar, and a second electrode having second fingers connected to a second bus bar. The first and second fingers interdigitate and terminate at ends. The ends of the first and second fingers abut gaps between the first and second electrodes. An acoustic wave of wavelength ? is excitable at a resonant frequency. The acoustic wave has a longitudinal and a transverse excitation profile and a longitudinal and a transverse energy density profile, where the longitudinal excitation profile is approximately constant and different from the longitudinal energy density profile, and the transverse excitation profile substantially corresponds to the transverse energy density profile. Transverse positions of the gaps relative to the first and second bus bars vary to substantially correspond to the transverse excitation profile across the gaps.

  • Patent number: 7262676
    Abstract: An electroacoustic component including a layer system disposed between two substrates and electroacoustic structures for exciting a guided bulk acoustic wave, the electroacoustic structures being devoid of cavities. The layer system includes a piezo-electric layer, at least one metal layer, and a planarizing layer, which includes a planar interface provided with a substrate disposed directly thereabove. Such a component can be produced at a low cost by direct wafer bonding of two wafers. The electroacoustic component structures are electrically connected to the external contacts through perpendicular electrical connections.

  • Patent number: 7170372
    Abstract: An electro-acoustic transducer for a component operating with surface waves, in particular for a surface wave filter, in which, to suppress interfering excitation ensuing in the gap region adjacent an end of a finger, a variation of the gaps is implemented with regard to at least one feature selected from transversal arrangement, size and shape. Due to the slight dimension change of the position of the gap in comparison to the finger length, the desired primary excitation in the transducer remains approximately unchanged, however the interfering excitation is displaced or divided, and made ineffectual.
