  • Abstract
    Pulsed ionizing radiation was found to degrade for several hundred microseconds the RF output of most of the separated-medium SAW convolvers that were investigated. A model, involving interface traps, is proposed which accounts for most of the observed effects, including those on one of the devices operating in the "memory" mode.
