Abstract :
The role that SAW (surface-acoustic-wave) resonators have come to play in high-performance test instrumentation is reviewed. The contributions made by SAW resonators in a number of Hewlett-Packard (HP) instrument applications are detailed. SAW-controlled oscillators are now the preferred design for precision frequency-control applications in the frequency range 200 MHz-1 GHz. The challenges in device design, fabrication, packaging and testing for these demanding applications are discussed.<>
