Abstract: Acoustic surface wave resonator device having two sets of reflector arrays on a piezoelectric substrate with structurally modified coupling transducers interposed therebetween, wherein the transducers are coupled to the standing wave resonance in the resonance cavity but are respectively decoupled from the surface wave launched by the other transducer, thereby suppressing direct coupled response without materially affecting the resonance response. In a typical embodiment, a pair of interdigital transducers are disposed between two sets of reflector arrays on a piezoelectric substrate, with the fingers of the respective transducers including intermediate off-set portions thereof. Specifically, the intermediate off-set portion in each interdigital finger extends over a distance .lambda./4, with the space between successive fingers in a transducer being .lambda./2.
