Abstract
In a resonator type surface acoustic wave filter, a fundamental mode of a mode to distribute in a direction perpendicular to propagating direction of a surface acoustic wave (hereinafter referred to as transverse mode) becomes a primary response, whereas a transverse secondary mode becomes spurious. In case of the surface acoustic wave device formed on a piezoelectric substrate having smaller electromechanical coupling factor of a quartz substrate or so forth, it is impossible to obtain sufficient restriction of the second mode spurious. This problem is solved by canceling electrical potential of transverse secondary mode and whereby restricting excitation with a resonator type surface acoustic device formed on a quartz substrate, in which a configuration of an interdigital electrode is selected to establish a ratio of an overlap width of an electrode finger versus an aperture width in a range greater than or equal to 0.75 to smaller than or equal to 0.85.
