Abstract
A surface acoustic wave (SAW) device is described that comprises a piezoelectric medium using input and output transducers for launching and detecting a surface acoustic wave on the piezoelectric medium. In particular, a device is described that uses a special combination of transducers for the direct generation of a coded minimum shift keyed (MSK) waveform from an input impulse waveform. The same device is used for the direct detection of an input MSK waveform in order to generate an impulse waveform with sidelobe characteristics similar to those expected from a specific code. The SAW device provides the advantages of MSK encoded waveforms for spread spectrum applications and the advantage of implementing such entirely on a SAW substrate.
