Abstract
A surface acoustic wave device makes it possible to increase the electrode width without generating mass-electrical-loading and is capable of operating in a high-frequency band higher than or equal to the UHF band, and this surface acoustic way device may be used in a communication device to eliminate need for any down-converter which is indispensable to the conventional high-frequency communication device, and which is therefore capable of being manufactured at a reduced cost. The surface acoustic wave device is provided with an electrode structure meeting conditions represented by: s+m=(2n+1)L/(4k), where L is electrode period, not taking into consideration the polarity of an interdigital transducer, m is electrode line width, s is minimum electrode gap width, and n and k are natural numbers. The surface acoustic wave device is used as the demodulator of the communication device.
