Surface acoustic wave filter for suppressing surface to surface interference for a satellite communication receiver

摘要

A filter for suppressing surface to surface interference for a satellite communication receiver which utilizes a surface acoustic wave (SAW) element. The SAW filter comprises two inter-digital transducers for input and one inter-digital transducer for output, all three transducers are constructed and arranged on a piezoelectric substrate. The widths of the adjacent portions of electrodes and the spaces between the electrodes of the input inter-digital transducers are adjusted based upon the principle of a transversal filter so that the frequency responses of the input interdigital transducers have a predetermined band width and a reduced gain of a frequency range where an interference signal exists respectively.
