Microwave Acoustic Devices in Systems

Abstract

Advances in microwave acoustic technology and the attendant progress in device development have been steady for about the past two decades. Progress has been evident not only in the surface acoustic wave (SAW) area but in bulk acoustic wave (BAW) technology as well. This progress has resulted in higher frequencies of operation, more efficient and compact devices for more demanding systems applications. Examples of such devices and applications are described in this paper.
