Abstract:
Interdigital transducer (IDT) and reflective structure arrangements for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are disclosed. Representative SAW devices are described herein with reduced overall size while maintaining good quality factors. In certain embodiments, a SAW device may include an IDT arranged between reflective structures on a piezoelectric material. The reflective structures may include reflective IDTs that are configured to have a phase difference with the IDT to reflect and confine acoustic waves in the piezoelectric material. In certain embodiments, the reflective structures may be electrically connected to at least one of an input signal or an output signal. In this manner, the reflective structures may be configured with reduced size as compared to conventional reflective structures such as gratings, thereby providing a SAW device with reduced dimensions without a negative impact on device performance.
