Abstract
An acoustic wave filter with reduced bulk-wave scattering loss has a center frequency and an associated acoustic wavelength. The filter includes a substrate and a first reflector having a first group of periodically disposed reflective elements. The filter includes a first transducer on a first side of the first reflector. The filter also includes a first gap having a first width, located between the first reflector and the first transducer. The first width exceeds one-fourth of the acoustic wavelength. The filter includes a second reflector and a second gap disposed between the first transducer and the second reflector. The second gap has a second breadth exceeding one-fourth of the acoustic wavelength. A first waveguiding element is positioned within the first gap and having a first breadth. The first width exceeds the first breadth.
