Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report contains a detailed description of diffraction in acoustic surface wave devices. This source of loss is highly important in the design and realization of bandpass filters, long time delay lines and other devices for electronic sensors and communications systems. A complete review of acoustic surface wave diffraction on anisotropic substrates is presented. Full experimental verification of theory is provided. Complete computer program listings and descriptions are provided. The limits of applicability of the parabolic velocity surface theory are quantitatively delineated. Universal diffraction loss design curves are given for all parabolic materials. A limitation in the use of the exact angular spectrum of waves theory occurs for materials having a power flow angle slope approximately - 1 unless the velocity surfaces are very accurately known. Both YZ LiNbO3 and 16-1/2 degree double rotated LiNbO3 fall in this category. Approximate diffraction loss design curves are given for YZ LiNbO3. A complete tabular summary of all important material properties affecting acoustic surface wave device design is included. (Author).
