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.

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.

Abstract: An electro-acoustic transducer (1) is proposed 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, a variation of the gaps (4) is implemented with regard to at least one feature selected from transversal arrangement, size and shape. Due to the slight dimension change (&Dgr;D) 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 therewith made ineffectual.

Abstract: A surface acoustic wave filter having compensated capacitive and inductive crosstalk between adjacent IDT input and output transducers includes electromagnetically coupled transducers split into partial transducers. The routing of the partial transducer pads is modified such that the flux directions of the magnetic couplings between the adjacent partial transducers are oppositely directed so that the total induced magnetic flux is zero. The partial transducers are connected in series or in parallel such that, in the case of symmetric operation, the crosstalk capacitances between adjacent pads and transducer surfaces are balanced at the corresponding port.

Abstract: In order to reduce scattering losses during the transmission of a surface acoustic wave signal, a surface acoustic wave arrangement has a junction between two mutually offset surface acoustic wave structures designed so that the finger period is reduced in the region of the junction, and varies continuously in the region of the junction.
