Abstract
Electroacoustic apparatus is described incorporating a substrate having a transducer on an upper surface and a transducer on a lower surface positioned for receiving bulk acoustic waves; substrate taper along with transducer geometry are combined to provide bulk acoustic signals in the near zone or Fresnel zone which provide for phase and amplitude cancellation of a triple transit signal. The invention overcomes the problem of spurious triple transit signals in bulk mode acoustic delay lines for input signals having a wide bandwidth, such as an octave, and where the delay times are short such that the bulk acoustic wave remains in the near zone or the transition region between the near zone and far zone.
