Abstract

An analytic formulation for transduction parameter required by the coupling-of-modes analysis of surface acoustic wave (SAW) transducers is derived by comparing solutions obtained using the coupling-of-modes analysis and an equivalent quasi-static analysis using the Green function method. This analysis results in the derivation of a convenient representation for the transduction strength of periodic SAW transducers. Using the formulation, analytic solutions are obtained for the transduction magnitude and phase of regular SAW transducers. Nonregular transducers are also modeled with the help of an electrostatic field analysis of the transducer´s structure.<>
