An improved transducer structure of the interdigitated electrode type is disclosed. In many microwave acoustic devices it is necessary to convert rf energy to acoustic surface wave energy and vice versa. When the acoustic medium is a piezoelectric substrate, interdigitated electrode transducers are widely employed. When such transducers are amplitude weighted, acoustic wave phase distortion of a serious nature can occur. Such phase distortion is eliminated by the use of an interdigitated transducer having dummy (i.e. non-active) electrodes disposed in the transducer pattern so as to present a substantially uniform metalization density to the propagating acoustic surface wave.
