Abstract
A surface acoustic wave bandpass filter having a flat frequency response in the passband and an exponentially decaying out-of-band response is realized by designing its transducer electrodes to have an appropriate number of discretely apodized interdigital fingers. The apodization or overlap coefficients H.sub.o (N) of adjacent fingers are determined from an analytically derived expression that incorporates factors for the filter time length parameter, the filter center frequency, bandwidth, transition bandwidth falloff, and a ripple reduction parameter.
