Research on ferroelectricity and ferroelectric materials started in 1920 with the discovery by Valasek that the variation of spontaneous polarization in Rochelle salt with sign and magnitude of an applied electric field traced a complete and reproducible hysteresis loop. Activity in the field was sporadic until 1935, when Busch and co-workers announced the observation of similar behavior in potassium dihydrogen phosphate and related compounds. Progress thereafter continued at a modest level with the undertaking of some theoretical as well as further experimental studies. In 1944, von Hippel and co-workers discovered ferroelectricity in barium titanate. The technological importance of ceramic barium titanate and other perovskites led to an upsurge of interest, with many new ferroelectrics being identified in the following decade. By 1967, about 2000 papers on various aspects of ferroelectricity had been published. The bulk of this widely dispersed literature was concerned with the experimental measurement of dielectric, crystallographic, thermal, electromechanical, elastic, optical, and magnetic properties. A critical and excellently organized cpmpilation based on these data appeared in 1969 with the publica tion of Landolt-Bornstein, Volume 111/3. This superb tabulation gave instant access to the results in the literature on nearly 450 pure substances and solid solutions of ferroelectric and antiferroelectric materials. Continuing interest in ferroelectrics, spurred by the growing importance of electrooptic crystals, resulted in the publication of almost as many additional papers by the end of 1969 as had been surveyed in Landolt-Bornstein.

Surface Acoustic Wave Filters gives the fundamental principles and device design techniques for surface acoustic wave filters. It covers the devices in widespread use today: bandpass and pulse compression filters, correlators and non-linear convolvers and resonators. The newest technologies for low bandpass filters are fully covered such as unidirectional transducers, resonators in impedance element filters, resonators in double-mode surface acoustic wave filters and transverse-coupled resonators using waveguides. The book covers the theory of acoustic wave physics, the piezoelectric effect, electrostatics at a surface, effective permittivity, piezoelectric SAW excitation and reception, and the SAW element factor. These are the main requirements for developing quasi-static theory, which gives a basis for the non-reflective transducers in transversal bandpass filters and interdigital pulse compression filters. It is also needed for the reflective transducers used in the newer devices. A thorough revision of a classic on surface acoustic wave filters first published in 1985 and still in print Uniquely combines easy-to-understand principles with practical design techniques for all the devices in widespread use today Complete coverage of all the latest devices which are key to mobile phones, TVs and radar systems Includes a new foreword by Sir Eric Albert Ash

Surface Acoustic Wave Devices and Their Signal Processing Applications is a textbook that combines experiment and theory in assessing the signal processing applications of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. The operating principles of SAW devices are described from a circuit design viewpoint. This book is comprised of 18 chapters and begins with a historical background on surface acoustic waves and a discussion on the merits of SAW devices as well as their applications. The next chapter introduces the reader to the basics of acoustic waves and piezoelectricity, together with the effect of acoustic bulk waves on the performance of SAW filters. The principles of linear phase SAW filter design and equivalent circuit models for a SAW filter are then described. The remaining chapters focus on trade-offs in linear phase SAW filter design; compensation for second-order effects; harmonic SAW delay lines for gigahertz frequencies; and coding techniques using linear SAW transducers. The final chapter highlights Some other significant alternative design techniques and applications for SAW devices. This monograph will be suitable for engineering or physics students as well as engineers, scientists, and technical staff in industry who seek further information on SAW-based circuits, systems, and applications.

The nonlinear interaction between two surface acoustic waves can be used in a number of signal processing devices. In this report the principles which underlie this interaction are developed both theoretically and experimentally. In the signal processing devices it is demonstrated that both convolution and fourier transformations can be carried out in real time. In the imaging work it is shown that acoustic surface waves can be used to scan optical images which are projected onto a semiconducting layer of silicon. This scanning process transfers spatial image pattern into a temporal pattern which can be transmitted electrically to a remote display station. (Modified author abstract).

This work presents an experimental and theoretical study of the interactions between acoustic surface waves on a piezoelectric insulator and charge carriers in a neighboring semiconductor separated by a small airgap; and the application of these phenomena to signal processing and optical imaging. Although the two media are mechanically isolated, the electric field associated with the surface waves penetrate into the semiconductor and interact with its charge carriers. This interaction is nonlinear, and, in the case of two oppositely propagating surface waves, real time convolution is performed. A new theory of the convolution interaction, taking into account the possible presence of a depletion, inversion or accumulation layer at the surface of the semiconductor, resulting from a built-in or applied dc field is presented. Experimental measurements for both n- and p-type Silicon on Lithium Niobate systems are in very good agreement with this theory, and they lead to a novel technique of measurement of the surface state distribution on semiconductors. The silicon on lithium niobate structure used gives rise to one of the largest convolution efficiencies reported to date. Several signal processing applications are presented. They show the versatility of the device which can be employed as a programmable filter or a parametric processor. In addition, the first autocorrelation is demonstrated by cascading two convolvers. The acoustic convolver was adapted for the scanning of optical images.
