SAW devices: description and computer models

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7362425

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices have become common elements in radar, communication, and coded security systems. This document is intended to facilitate SAW usage at Sandia Laboratories. This intention is forwarded by presenting a tutorial on SAW device properties and applications, and listing several computer programs which model SAW device properties. The usefulness of computer models in checking design and specification is demonstrated by comparison of the model predictions with rf measurements of SAW devices. The computer programs listed are in a format compatible with the in-house CDC 6600 computer using a SCOPE operating system along with the SC-4020 plotter. 25 figures, 1 table (auth)
