7. An acoustic surface wave device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said means for applying an electric field is arranged so that said second given direction, in which said electric field is applied, is perpendicular to said first given direction in which an acoustic surface wave travels.
8. An acoustic surface wave device which relies for its effectiveness on the electrostrictive effect rather than on the piezoelectric effect whereby the effectiveness of the device is electric field dependent, said device comprising a body of material which has electrostrictive constants and piezoelectric constants such that for an acoustic surface wave traveling in a first given direction in said body and an electric field applied across said body in a second given direction the piezoelectric effect is ngligible but the electrostrictive effect is significant, and means somprising a multiple acoustic surface wave reflector for modifying the velocity of an acoustic surface wave traveling in said body in said first given direction, said velocity modifying means including means for applying an electric field in the region of said reflector across said body of material in said second given direction.
9. An acoustic surface wave device which relies for its effectiveness on the electrostrictive effect rather than on the piezoelectric effect whereby the effectiveness of the device is electric field dependent, said device comprising a body of material which has electrostrictive constants and piezoelectric constants such that for an acoustic surface wave traveling in a first given direction in said body and an electric field applied across said body in a second given direction the piezoelectric effect is negligible but the electrostrictive effect is significant, and means for modifying the velocity of an acoustic surface wave traveling in said body in said first given direction, said velocity modifying means including means for applying an electric field across said body of material in said second given direction, said modifying means Comprising a phase shifter which includes two electrodes so deposited on said body as to cause a phase shift in an acoustic surface wave traveling in the proximity of one of said electrodes, at least one of said electrodes being so shaped as to give different phase shifts to acoustic surface waves in different parts of said body of material in order to control the wavefront of the acoustic surface waves.
10. An acoustic surface wave device as claimed in claim 9 wherein said two electrodes are so deposited on said body of material as to constitute an acoustic surface wave waveguide.
11. An acoustic surface wave device as claimed in claim 10 further including a steering electrode so deposited on said body of material that altering the voltage applied to said steering electrode will cause acoustic surface wave steering, and means for controllably altering the voltage applied to said steering electrode.
