Abstract

A theory for the reversing multistrip coupler (RMSC) is presented based on the previously developed spectral theory of interdigital transducers (IDTs). It shows that the track-changing reflection of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) in an RMSC depends on the frequency-like reflection of SAWs from ordinary periodic grating reflectors. The reflection to the other channel is full in a narrow frequency band of relative width 2/3Δν/ν if the RMSC is sufficiently long. Some applications of the RMSC are discussed, including SAW dispersive filters, resonators and low-loss filters. A new dispersive interdigital transducer having substantial apodization that reduces spurious passband is proposed
