Abstract
A surface acoustical wave (SAW) waveguide device which compensates for dispersion by utilizing diffused substrates. Various embodiments have in-diffused or out-diffused core regions in which the ray is channeled that are topped by a thin metallic film overlay. Partially surrounding each core region are cladding portions which are also selectively in-diffused or out-diffused and may be covered by the metal overlay. By varying the amounts of in-diffusion or out-diffusion for the particular application, the effects of dispersion are minimized.
