Abstract
The transducer is chiefly designed to generate acoustic waves in the microwave range in a crystalline support of a bulk wave delay line or a Bragg cell. The transducer has a plane contact region of a ground electrode partially covering a face of the substrate, a piezoelectric plate on the contact region and a second electrode defining the piezoelectrically active region of the transducer. So as not to make a direct solder on the electrode and thus, in particular, reduce the admittance of the transducer as compared with known transducers, the second electrode is connected to a large connection region, placed on the support face, by a link bridge. The connection region supports the connection by soldering. The admittance is thus independent of the thickness of the solder.
