Abstract
Disclosed is a surface acoustic wave filter based on a ferroelectric crystal having a plurality of ordered domains of alternating polarity. An output interdigital transducer, with at least one pair of electrodes, is deposited on a surface of the crystal so that each of the electrode pairs corresponds to one of the ordered domains, and an input interdigital transducer is oriented on the surface to direct a surface acoustic wave toward the output transducer. In addition, sources of both positive and negative electrical potential may be provided, with a switch for each output electrode pair to selectably apply either the positive or the negative potential to that pair.
