A surface wave device (10) having substrate with at least a surface layer of piezoelectric material (12) and at least one pair of opposing electrically conducting pads (14 and 16) is disclosed. A first group of at least three electrodes (18, 20 and 22) in a distance (24) of one half wavelength of a preselected operating frequency is disposed on the piezoelectric surface between the opposing pads. At least one of the electrodes is electrically connected to one of the opposing pads and the remaining electrodes are electrically connected to the other opposing pad. The sequence of the three electrodes is unevenly distributed with respect to which of the pads the electrodes are connected to. At least two additional groups of at least three electrodes similar to the first group have sequences of electrodes within each group that is distinct from the other groups. In all, a plurality of electrodes is disposed on the piezoelectric surface and the number of such electrodes in distances of one half wavelength of the preselected frequency varies. There are at least three such numbers which are distinct from each other.
