One important aspect of modern electronic warfare systems is the ability to sort signals according to their frequency. This paper describes a novel surface acoustic wave channelizer to perform this sorting at IF frequencies. The operating principles are analogous to an optical diffraction grating. Prototype devices that cover a 260 MHz bandwidth with a sidelobe rejection to about 40 dB are described.
