The discrete arrays of electrodes are deposited upon a piezoelectric substrate in an interleaved pattern to define an interdigitated transducer. Respective electrodes of a given array are substantially equidistantly spaced apart from electrodes of the other arrays and are electrically insulated therefrom. The arrays of electrodes are positioned upon the substrate such that there are at least three electrodes per acoustic wavelength at the resonance frequency. A voltage of different phase is simultaneously applied to each array of electrodes by means of novel broadband phase shifting circuits to generate an acoustic wave that propagates in only one direction along the substrate.,下面是Unidirectional surface wave transducers专利的具体信息内容。
