We have studied to obtain the SAW filter for the passband was formed on the Langasite substrate and was evaporated by Aluminum-Copper alloy and then we performed computer-simulated by simulator. We can fabricate that the block weighted type IDT as an input transducer of the filter and the withdrawal weighted type IDT as an output transducer of the filter from the results of our computer-simulation. Also, we have performed to obtain the properly design conditions about phase shift of the SAW filter for WCDMA. We have employed that the number of pairs of the input and output IDT are 50 pairs and the thickness and the width of reflector are 5000$\AA$ and 3.6$mu$m, respectively. Frequency response of the fabricated SAW filter has the property that the center frequency is about 190MHz and bandwidth at the 3dB is probably 8.2MHz. And we could obtain that return loss is less then 16dB, ripple characteristics is probably 4dB and triple transit echo is less then 18dB after when we have matched impedance.

Al-Ni thin films were fabricated using combinatorial sputtering system to realize highly sensitive surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. The Al-Ni sample library was grown with various chemical compositions and electrical resistivities, which provided important information for selecting the most suitable materials for SAW devices. As acoustic waves generated from piezoelectric materials are significantly affected by the resistivity and density of the interdigital transducer (IDT) electrodes, three types of Al-Ni thin films with different Al contents were fabricated. The thickness of the Al-Ni thin film used in the SAW-IDT electrode was fixed at 100 nm. As the Al content of the Al-Ni film decreased from 79.2 to 24.5 at%, the resistivity increased slightly from 4.8 to 5.8 × 10^-5 Ω-cm, whereas the calculated density increased significantly from 3.6 to 6.9 g/cm³. The SAW device composed of Al-Ni IDT electrodes resonated at 71 MHz without frequency shifts; however, the selectivity of the resonant frequency and insertion loss deteriorated as the Al content decreased. When there is no significant difference in the electrical characteristics of the SAW-IDT electrodes, the performance of the SAW devices can be determined by the density of the IDT electrodes.

Slanted and chirp interdigital transducer(IDT) configurations were studied for generating the surface acoustic wave(SAW) with wide bandwidths on a piezoelectric substrate. These devices can be applied to manipulate optical path of light along the waveguide, ultimately used for optical switches and holographic image implementation. Prior to fabrication, the coupling of modes(COM) modeling and simulation were performed to extract optimal design parameters. The optimally designed wideband device showed wide bandwidth of 30MHz, low insertion loss of -25dB, and abrupt side suppression ratio (SSR). Several design conditions were determined during device implementation, such as slanted angle, aperture length, number of fingers, and central frequencies of IDTs. These factors were experimentally analyzed and described in details in this paper.

In this paper, the effective permittivity in the piezoelectric material is numerically obtained and greens function is derived from that. It is shown that the admittance and the transfer function of an interdigital transducer is represented by electrostatic charge distribution using Quasi-static approximation. To prove the validity of the quasi-static approximation, numerical results for the uniform IDT of a filter mounted on 128 $^{\circ}$ rotated Y-cut X-propagating Lithium Niobate are compared with the measured ones.

The charge distribution is calculated to analyze the quasi-static impedance of periodic interdigital transducer taking into account the effect of infinite neighboring electrodes. The charge distribution can be represented by the element factor and array factor. The radiation conductance, susceptance and static capacitance of the input and output IDT's with arbitrary voltages are obtained by the charge distribution. The impedance of apodized IDT, is analyzed by multi-track model in which IDT is represented by the parallel connection of the uniform tracks. The calculated input and output impedances are in good agreement with the experimental results.
