Electrode structure for saw device

摘要

At least two frequencies, one on the higher frequency side and the other on the lower frequency side of a desired frequency, are selected from a predetermined set of frequencies, and stripe widths corresponding to the selected frequencies are combined to realize a desired average stripe width which is used to form an electrode structure of a SAW device. At least one electrode configuration of the SAW device includes an alternate arrangement of electrode stripe and free area stripe and the alternate arrangement is divided into a predetermined number of plural sections within each of which a ratio of the number of stripes of a first width to the number of stripes of a second width is set to a predetermined value. The electrode configuration can be prepared without resort to a highly precise mask and can permit highly precise setting of the center frequencies.
