Abstract
Results are reported of an experimental study of the effects of neutron radiation on five different types of surface acoustic wave (SAW) convolver. A general model for the operation of a SAW convolver is described, and the varying effects of the neutron radiation on the five convolver types are explained in terms of this model. The diode-tapped delay line was found to be the most radiation-hard SAW convolver.
