Piezoelectric substrate 1 is to be made up of piezoelectric, produces surface acoustic wave by piezoelectric effect.In the present embodiment, piezoelectric substrate is selected piezoelectric single crystal YZ-LiNbO3.
Interdigital transducer 2 is SAW interdigital transducers, that the shape picture of making on piezoelectric substrate surface is pointed the metal pattern intersecting, its effect is excite and receive surface acoustic wave SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave, SAW), completes the energy conversion of electroacoustic, acoustic-electric.Interdigital transducer IDT structure as shown in Figure 2.Interdigital cycle P=2 (a+b), wherein, a is interdigital width; B is interdigital spacing; W is aperture, refers to the length of overlapped part between adjacent two fingers.In the time that additional electric signal frequency equals the characteristic frequency of transducer, every pair of interdigital wave phase exciting is identical, and the launching efficiency of IDT is the highest.
In the present embodiment, IDT can be a two-way interdigital transducer, and the surface acoustic wave of generation is propagated to interdigital transducer left and right both direction respectively.Its interdigital width equates with interdigital spacing, and interdigital sound aperture W is constant.As exciting and receiving transducer of SAW, its characteristic frequency, bandwidth and SAW intensity are by its structures shape.
