- a transmission type surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter with a single-phase unidirectional converter has been commercialized as a device that satisfies the characteristics.
- SAW surface acoustic wave
- the phase difference between the excitation wave and the reflected wave becomes in-phase in the forward (forward) direction, and the two waves reinforce each other.
- the opposite direction (reverse) the two waves cancel each other out. Therefore, surface elastic waves are strongly excited only in the forward direction. This makes it possible to theoretically realize a low-loss filter of 1 dB or less by facing the unidirectional directions of the transmitting electrode and the receiving electrode.
- EWC-S JDT and DART-SPUDT using an asymmetric electrode structure have been devised as a method for realizing a unidirectional converter.

- the surface acoustic wave generated by driving the normal type IDT is excited in both directions of the normal type IDT on the ST—X crystal substrate. It propagates and cannot achieve one-wayness.
- the natural unidirectionality refers to a characteristic of a substrate in which a surface acoustic wave is strongly excited in one direction when a normal type IDT is formed on the surface of a piezoelectric substrate. Surface acoustic wave using this natural unidirectional substrate Since the converter uses the anisotropy of the substrate itself, it is not possible to face the forward direction of the transmitting converter and the receiving converter. Unless the transmitting and receiving electrodes can face each other unidirectionally, it is impossible to produce a low-loss filter.

- the characteristics of a surface acoustic wave device depend on the characteristics of a piezoelectric crystal used as a substrate. It is important that the piezoelectric crystal has a large electromechanical coupling coefficient and good frequency-temperature characteristics.
- langasite is attracting attention as a crystal that satisfies these two characteristics simultaneously. When expressed as Euler angles ( ⁇ , ⁇ , Y), it is 1 5 ° ⁇ 5 °, 1 35 ° ⁇ 0 ⁇ 145 °, 20 ° ⁇ ⁇ 30.
