This type of surface wave element, as shown in FIG.
Input electrodes 2 and output electrodes 3 each having a pair of comb-teeth electrodes arranged opposite to each other are adhered to each other.
A ground electrode 4 is arranged between the electrodes and 3.

In this type of surface wave element, the opposing width W of each pair of comb-shaped electrodes of electrodes 2 and 3 is made as large as possible, so that the surface waves excited and generated by the input electrode 2 are directly transmitted to the output electrode 3. The energy of the effective surface waves directed toward is increased, and the influence of unnecessary waves due to reflection of unnecessary surface waves that spread in other directions due to diffraction is minimized.

However, when the opposing width W of the comb-teeth electrodes is increased in this way, it is especially important to use piezoelectric ceramics with a dielectric constant ε of around 1000, such as PZT (solid solution of lead titanate and lead zirconate) thread. In a surface wave element using a surface wave propagation medium having , the impedance is low and the load on the external circuit becomes heavy.

Therefore, in order to increase the impedance of a surface acoustic wave element using such piezoelectric ceramic, it is desired that the opposing width W of the comb-teeth electrodes be made as small as possible. Now, using piezoelectric ceramics
Regarding the 10.7MHz surface wave filter,
In this case, if the opposing width W of the comb-teeth electrodes is 1.5 mm or more, the energy of the surface waves propagating through the original propagation path is large, so the influence of unnecessary surface waves will hardly be a problem, but this width W should be set to 1.0 mm. If the value is below, the influence of unnecessary surface waves will become significant. This is because the surface waves spread by diffraction reach the acoustic impedance mismatched areas, that is, the edges of each electrode 2, 3, and 4, especially in the direction of surface wave propagation (the surface wave propagation direction in this specification refers to the original surface wave direction). Reflection at both outer edges 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b and 4a, 4b extending along the direction in which the electrodes 2 and 3 should be propagated has a particularly large influence. There is.

In Figures 2 to 8, the surface wave velocity is 2300, respectively.

Characteristics of 10.7MHz surface wave filter (each frequency -
Figure 2 shows the opposing width W
2.5mm and distance d is 550μm, Figure 3 shows the opposite width W is 1.7mm and distance d is 550μm, Figure 4 shows the opposite width W is 1.5mm and distance d is 550μm, and the fifth
The figure shows when the opposing width W is 1.0 mm and the distance d is 550 μm.
Figure 6 shows the characteristics when the facing width W is 0.7 mm and the distance d is 550 μm, Figure 7 shows the characteristics when the facing width W is 1.0 mm and the distance d is 600 μm, and Figure 8 shows the characteristics when the facing width W is 0.7 mm. ,
It is clear from these characteristics that when the distance d is 750 μm, when the facing width W is 1 mm or less, the diffraction occurs as shown by the broken line in Figures 5 and 6 when the distance d is 550 μm. , due to the effect of reflection, it is not possible to obtain the characteristics according to the theory, and as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, even if the opposing width W is 1 mm or less, the distance d is three times one wavelength of the surface wave. It can be seen that the effects of unnecessary waves have been removed in the cases selected above.

Incidentally, since the inner edges 2c, 2d and 3c, 3d of each comb-teeth electrode of each electrode 2 and 3 have a zigzag pattern due to the comb-teeth, unnecessary waves are not generated at these edges. Since it is scattered, there is almost no effect from this.

As mentioned above, in a surface wave element, the distance d from the effective part of the electrode, that is, the opposing part of the comb-shaped electrode, to the outer edge is 3 times the wavelength of the surface wave to be propagated.
If the frequency is doubled or more, the influence of unnecessary waves can be avoided, but the present invention can eliminate the influence of unnecessary waves without using such a configuration or with this configuration. The object of the present invention is to provide a surface wave device with a

That is, in the present invention, the surface wave scattering means is provided at the outer edge portion of the surface wave propagation medium, that is, the electrode coated on the piezoelectric substrate, extending substantially along the surface wave propagation direction.

In the present invention, the cut grooves 6 are formed with a diamond pen or the like in a serrated zigzag or wavy pattern, for example, across the outer edges 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b of each electrode 2, 3, 4. Then, the electrodes 2, 3, and 4 are cut out from above to form a means 5 for scattering unnecessary surface waves. In this case, the frequency characteristics are such that the influence of unnecessary waves is removed, as shown in FIG. FIG. 11 shows the frequency characteristics when this means 5 is not provided.

Note that, as shown in FIG. 12, the present invention has a facing width W
The present invention can also be applied to a surface wave filter in which short comb-teeth electrodes are stacked in a series of multiple stages to increase impedance and reduce insertion loss.
In this case as well, the influence of diffraction and reflection can be removed. In this case, it is desirable to provide the means 5 at the inner edge of each electrode where a plurality of comb teeth face each other and where the straight line portion along the propagation direction is relatively long.

at least each outer edge 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4
By providing unnecessary wave scattering means 5 in a and 4b, the influence of unnecessary waves can be effectively avoided, so the opposing width W of the comb-teeth electrodes can be made sufficiently small to increase impedance. I can do it. Therefore, it is not necessary to select the distance d from the facing portion of the comb teeth of the electrode to the outer edge to be three times the wavelength, and the overall size can be reduced.
