Abstract
Techniques for adjusting the surface acoustic wave velocity of a packaged SAW device are described. A first technique involves depositing a film from a cover of the device onto a surface wave propagating surface thereby providing a localized region on said surface where the acoustic properties and, hence, the velocity characteristics of the surface wave propagating surface are altered. An alternate embodiment of a pair of beams are directed through a transparent cover and converge on the surface wave propagating surface, selectively removing a portion of said surface to provide a localized alteration in the acoustic properties of the surface wave propagating surface.
