DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an ultrasonic delay line that delays electrical signals by converting them into sound waves and propagating them through a delay medium.

The above-described ultrasonic delay line is widely used in circuits of TV receivers, video tape recorders (VTRs), video cameras, and the like.

In such an ultrasonic delay line, since the sound waves propagate in paths other than the desired path in the delay medium, the sound waves in paths other than the desired path are detected by the output transducer and become so-called spurious noise. There is a risk of adversely affecting the playback screen of a VTR, etc. For this reason, a sound absorbing material that absorbs sound waves other than the desired path is provided on the main surface of the delay medium parallel to the propagation direction of the sound waves or on the side surfaces perpendicular to the main surface, or the main surface and side surfaces are roughened. There are known methods of attenuating sound waves outside the desired path.

In addition, even when a sound wave propagates in a desired path, once it is detected by the output transducer, it propagates again in the desired path and returns to the input transducer for a delay time that is twice the desired delay time τ. have
There are 2τ spurious noises and 3τ spurious noises that are detected by the output transducer after the 2τ spurious noises pass through a desired path again, and in order to remove the 2τ and 3τ spurious noises, the present applicant's own patent application is proposed. As disclosed in Publication No. 52-19942,
A method of attenuating 2τ and 3τ spurious noise by providing a sound absorbing material within a desired passage is also known.

In the conventional spurious noise attenuation method described above, consideration was given only to the removal of the fundamental frequency component (hereinafter referred to as "main signal") of the sound wave propagating in the delay medium. That is, measures have been taken to only remove the fundamental frequency components of spurious noise that follows a path other than the desired path and the fundamental frequency components of 2τ and 3τ spurious noise that travel through the desired path.

However, in general, a sound wave signal propagating in a delay medium has harmonic components, and for example, as shown in the frequency characteristic diagram of Fig. 2, the center frequency of the main signal passband f 0 (4.3MHz in the example shown) 3 to 4 times the frequency f 3 (13 to 16 MHz in the example shown).
Spurious noise of harmonic components is superimposed. The spurious noise of such harmonic components is at a considerable level (in the example in Figure 2, the main signal level is -
If the signal is superimposed on the main signal at a level of 20 dB, for example, in a video camera, it may cause striped noise on the reproduced image, impairing good image reproduction.
