The characteristics of the Rayleigh wave propagation on LGS have been studied fairly well. However, no design of SAW devices on LGS suitable for modern communication systems has been reported as yet. In this paper, transversal filters on LGS based on bidirectional interdigital transducers, and low-loss filters on LGS based on natural single phase unidirectional transducers (NSPUDT), are described. The filters on LGS have exhibited better electrical parameters than their analogues on quartz and lithium tantalate.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">INTRODUCTION<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The substrate material for SAW devices must satisfy a number of requirements, such as high electromechanical coupling coefficient , good temperature stability (the best temperature coefficient of delay is TDC=0), small power flow angle (the best is=0<sup>o<\/sup>), low level of parasitic modes which determines the selectivity of a device in a wide frequency band (not less than =-(50-55) dB). To avoid diffraction distortions, it is also desirable that the propagation direction of SAW should coincide with direction, where the anisotropy parameter =\u00a0-1. None of widely used crystallographic orientations in known materials\u00a0 (quartz,\u00a0 lithium\u00a0 tantalate, lithium niobate) meets\u00a0 all these requirements. Therefore, the search for, and study of, new materials and their cuts is an important task.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recently the family of temperature stable LGS cuts\u00a0 with the Euler angles 15<sup>\u043e<\/sup>&lt;&lt;10<sup>o<\/sup>; 120<sup>o<\/sup>&lt;&lt;165<sup>o<\/sup>; 20<sup>o<\/sup>&lt;&lt;45<sup>o<\/sup>\u00a0 has been found [1]. In addition to TCD\u00bb0 ppm, some of these cuts exhibit high piezoelectric coupling (=0.28-0.38), low PFA (\u00bd\u00bd&lt;2<sup>o<\/sup>) and anisotropy parameter close to the optimal value \u00bb-1. Later the natural unidirectionality of SAW generation has been\u00a0 discovered for some cuts in this family [2]. One more advantage of the LGS cuts indicated is the low level of parasitic modes. It is =-(50-55) dB in a wide frequency band, being 30 dB and 20 dB less than for YX and ZY cuts of LGS, respectively [3], and 5 dB less than for (90<sup>o<\/sup>,90<sup>o<\/sup>,112<sup>o<\/sup>) lithium tantalate cut. Since the effective velocity of SAW on LGS is low, =2400-2600 m\/s, the size of devices on LGS can be reduced at least by 20-30 % as compared with that of their analogues on quartz and lithium tantalate. So, because of the\u00a0 above listed properties langasite is a promising substrate material for SAW filters with good electrical parameters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this paper, we report the results of the study of transversal filters, based on bidirectional interdigital transducer, and low-loss filters, based on NSPUDT with stepped electrodes. The filters of the first and second types are for use in relay lines of communication systems and radiotelephones of W-CDMA standard, respectively. As a substrate material, the [0<sup>o<\/sup>,140<sup>o<\/sup>,25<sup>o<\/sup>] cut Li<sub>3<\/sub>Ga<sub>5<\/sub>SiO<sub>4 <\/sub>\u00a0is utilized in both the types of filters. This cut is close to the optimal one. Besides, it has been chosen for study because the phase shift between the mechanical and electrical components of SAW in NSPUDT is known, =-51\u00b0 [2].<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">STUDY OF SUBSTRATE MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The parameters of SAW propagating on LGS were computed in [1,2,5]. However, these computations have yielded different results, since the different sets of elastic and temperature constants were used. So, we had to experimentally determine some of the important characteristics\u00a0 of [0<sup>o<\/sup>,140<sup>o<\/sup>,25<sup>o<\/sup>] cut LGS in order to provide an adequate accuracy in designing SAW filters on this cut.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By the method resembling the one described in [4], we have measured the SAW velocity on the free () and the metallized () surfaces, the electromechanical coupling coefficient , the temperature coefficients of delay (TCD) of the first () and the second () orders, and the dielectric permittivity . Table 1 summarizes the results of measurements for the case of the aluminum film of thickness \u00bb1 %. They agree well with the data obtained in [1]. For comparison the analogous characteristics for (0\u00b0,140\u00b0,22.5\u00b0) cut LGS [5] are also given in Table 1.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Table 1.

The filter uses the input apodized and output withdrawal weighted transducers. The aperture of both the transducers is =1.8 mm\u00a0 or 50. The IDT\u2019s use split-finger electrodes to ensure the bidirectionality on NSPUDT substrate. The electrode thickness is =2500 A<sup>o<\/sup>. The chip dimensions are 15.0 x 3.0 x 0.5 mm.

The unidirectionality of NSPUDT is achieved by \u00b1\/8 shift between the transduction and reflection centers due to electrode reflection of transducer and asymmetry of the crystal [6]. In designing NSPUDT low-loss\u00a0 filters, the basic challenge is how to make reversal\u00a0 transducers having the opposite directivity relative the direct NSPUDT with two \/4\u00a0 electrodes\u00a0 per wavelength [6]. Among reversal NSPUDT structures the most preferable are the configurations fabricated using a single stage technological process with a single operation of metallization. Such configurations of Reversal\u00a0 Directivity Transducer or RDT have recently been described in\u00a0 [7]: Electrode Width Difference (EWD) type RDT, Transduction Center Shift (TCS) type RDT, Group-type RDT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the filters on [0<sup>o<\/sup>,140<sup>o<\/sup>,25<sup>o<\/sup>] cut LGS, we used the SAW propagating along the X+25<sup> o<\/sup> direction. In this case the phase shift between the electrical potential and the mechanical displacement of the reflected SAW is =-51<sup>o<\/sup> [2].\u00a0 This phase angle was used as a parameter in the simulation technique based on equivalent circuit model. As reversal transducers, we used modified\u00a0 TCS-types RDT and Group-type RDT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to increase the efficiency of SAW generation in TCS-type RDT we have introduced a shorted reflected electrode. This has eliminated the negative effect of the charges\u00a0 induced on the isolated reflected electrode [7]. The width of the shorted electrode and its location with respect to excited electrodes in the new TST-type RDT have\u00a0 been optimized to obtain the maximum reflection and better directivity at =-51<sup>o<\/sup>. The minimum size of the electrodes was .<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To improve the shape factor and selectivity, the direct and reversal NSPUDT have been divided along the aperture into several parallel acoustic channels. Similar channels of the direct and reversal NSPUDT formed the subfilter with the central frequency \u00a0corresponding to the period of electrodes in -th channel. Such transducers have stepped electrodes with weighted electrode period and aperture of channels (WEPAC). The WEPAC transducers\u00a0 operate\u00a0 similarly\u00a0 to\u00a0 the\u00a0 tapered SPUDT [9].<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They can be called \"quasi-slanted\" transducers [8]. The WEPAC transducers, however, do not use slanted electrodes.\u00a0 The\u00a0 electrode period and aperture in neighbour channels have been weighted to improve the shape-factor and to increase ultimate rejection. To adjust the phase ripples of the filter in total, the subfilters have been shifted relative to each other in the direction of SAW propagation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fig.3 shows the frequency dependences of \u00a0and phase for the W-CDMA 240 MHz filter on [0<sup>o<\/sup>,140<sup>o<\/sup>,25<sup>o<\/sup>] LGS\u00a0 cut.\u00a0 The filter uses the direct WEPAC NSPUDT with the \/4 electrodes and the reversal WEPAC NSPUDT (first modified TCS-type). Each of the transducers has been divided into 10 channels. The length of\u00a0 each\u00a0 channel was 125\u00a0in the direct NSPUDT and 197 \u00a0in the reversal\u00a0 one. The chip dimensions were 5.5 x 2.0 x 0.5 mm.\u00a0 The 9.0 x 7.0 x 1.5 mm SMD package was utilized. The filter was matched with the impedances =50 Ohm. Insertion loss did not exceed IL=10.8 dB.
