Abstract
A programmable SAW transversal filter utilizing a finger array and phase shifters to implement unidirectional transducers for providing low insertion loss and reduced or suppressed triple transient echo. A piezoelectric substrate has an input unidirectional transducer and an output unidirectional transducer formed thereon. A surface acoustic wave is transmitted between the input unidirectional transducer and the output unidirectional transducer. Programmable gain devices and phase shifters are coupled to the respective input unidirectional transducer fingers and the output unidirectional transducer fingers forming multi-phase unidirectional transducers. The present invention may be utilized as a transversal filter in many communication devices, and in particular a multi format personal communication system.
