Abstract
An acoustic surface wave filter comprises a piezoelectric substrate defining a propagating surface upon which a transmitting and receiving transducer pair are formed in offset alignment. An interposed multistrip coupler provides surface wave coupling between the offset transducers. An elongated isolating barrier is interposed between the transducers in an orthogonal relationship with the coupler to prevent surface wave propagation between the transducers along other than the primary axis. In one embodiment, an isolating barrier is composed of an acoustic surface wave dampening material, while in another a barrier of acoustic surface wave reflective material is used.
