A surface acoustic wave bandpass filter consists of input and output interdigital transducers (IP, OP) with an interposed track changing multistrip array (MSA). A conventional broadband array (MSA) is divided into two groups of strips with respect to a center of symmetry (C) separated by different distances along the input track (T1) and the output track (T2) such that the array (MSA) suppresses a predetermined frequency. If the input and output transducers (IP, OP) both have a double electrode configuration, electrode separation lambda o/4, providing a fundamental passband at a corresponding frequency fo and an equal amplitude passband at the third harmonic 3fo, then a separation difference of lambda o/6 between the groups of the array (MSA) in the two tracks (T1, T2) can suppress the third harmonic passband in the filter output. The two groups of the multistrip array may be further sub-divided to suppress more than one frequency (FIG. 5). Also a multistrip array arranged in groups to provide a shaped bandpass response may have each group divided to suppress a selected harmonic passband of the array (FIG. 6).
