Abstract
A surface acoustic wave device including, as formed on a piezoelectric substrate, one or a plurality of resonators connected together, each of the resonators comprising an interdigital transducer and a grating reflector, the object of the invention is to compact the device by improving the reflection efficiency of the grating reflector. When the grating reflector is a metal strip array reflector of the open type, the grating reflector has an electrode occupancy ratio of 0.7 to 0.8. Alternatively, when a metal strip array reflector of the short-circuit type is used, the grating reflector has an electrode occupancy ratio of 0.45 to 0.55, or when a metal strip array reflector of the interdigital type is used, the grating reflector has an electrode occupancy ratio of 0.7 to 0.85.
