Abstract

A modelling approach able to address complicated SAW periodic structures with non homogeneous geometry has been developed and implemented. It is based on the combination of finite element analysis and a boundary element method. Validation of the computation is reported. An example of simulation of a passivated STW resonator is used for theory/experiment assessment.
