A segmented multistrip coupler, or multistrip mode converter (MSMC), is described that converts SAW energy to LAW energy. The segmentation serves several purposes. If the LAW velocity is not precisely known, the MSMC can compensate somewhat for incorrect choice of grafting pitches in the SAW and LAW tracks. The segmentation also allows the structure to take less space on the substrate. A coupled-rnode analysis of the MSMC and results on an experimental four-segment MSMC operating at 100 MHz with 25 percent bandwidth are presented. Although the MSMC should he capable of nearly complete energy transfer, this particular design was shorter than a full transfer length and had a conversion loss of about 5 dB. The predicted value of 4.9-dB conversion loss is in good agreement with experiment.","PeriodicalId":371797,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Sonics and Ultrasonics","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122562439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have postulated a stochastic model that demonstrates a relationship between the variance of the estimate and the product of the variance of the abdominal wall thickness fluctuations and the second derivative of the axial beam sensitivity profile.

One effect is that down-chirp filters have lower loss than up-chirp filters, which is shown to be caused by asymmetric phasing of reflections by near-synchronous electrodes. The most prominent effect is large amplitude ripple in the passband of broadband down-chirp mters, occurring at frequencies above the second harmonic of the synchronous frequency of the lowest-frequency electrodes, and caused by surface wave reflections by electrodes with a synchronous frequency that is half the operating frequency. The large amplitude ripple is halved in nondispersive chirp filters and does not occur in up-chirp filters. A further effect is enhanced triple-transit ripple, which is also due to “second harmonic” reflections, and occurs in both upand down-chirp filters. A design procedure that suppresses the large amplitude ripple is described and is found experimentally to be effective. Relations are given for the estimation of directionality, and single and triple transit ripple amplitudes due to second harmonic reflections, for chirp filters with arbitrary chirp law, bandwidth, and dispersion time.","PeriodicalId":371797,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Sonics and Ultrasonics","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117049878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tsai, Xin Cheng","doi":"10.1109/T-SU.1985.31591","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/T-SU.1985.31591","url":null,"abstract":"Abslmcf-A methodology for complete characterization of thinand thick-film materials deposited on a substrate using widehand reflection acoustic microscopy is presented. A wideband reflection acoustic microscope that covers the frequency range of 50 to 175 MHz was constructed to carry out the experimental verification. The amplitude of the reflection coefficient of the film-substrate composite was measured versus the acoustic frequency to identify the resonant frequency of the specimen at which the film thickness is equal to one quarter of the acoustic wavelength. Then both the amplitude and the phase of the reflection coefficient at the resonant frequency were measured. Using the three measured quantities, thickness, acoustic velocity, and mass density of the film material are simultaneously determined without any prior knowledge. Two types of film materials, namely Pyrex glass film sputtered on a sapphire substrate and positive photoresist coated on a Pyrex glass substrate have been characterized using the methodology. The three measured acoustic parameters, film thickness, acoustic velocity, and mass density, agree well with the published values. For the frequency range of the microscope utilized the corresponding range of measurable film thickness is 30 pm to 5 pm for most inorganic materials, and 10 pm to 2 pm for most organic materials. For the case in which the film thickness is less than one quarter of the acoustic wavelength at the highest operation frequency of the microscope, the resonant frequency cannot be identified. However. one or two of the three acoustic parameters can still be determined by measuring the amplitude and the phase of the reflection coefficient a t a fixed acoustic frequency. This capability has been demonstrated using a gold fdm deposited on fused quartz and an aluminum film evaporated on X-cut LiNbOj substrate. Three additional transducer/lens sets with staggered center frequencies are also being assembled to cover the entire frequency range from 175 MHz t o 1000 MHz so that the measurable range of the film thickness can be extended to the submicron region. Consequently, it is concluded that this characterization methodology should he highly useful For nondestructive study of thinand thick-film materials in microelectronics.","PeriodicalId":371797,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Sonics and Ultrasonics","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121790791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
