Abstract

A software package that provides an interactive and graphical environment for the design and modeling of multilayered surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices is described. The software is based on the finite element method (FEM) and the coupling-of-modes theory (COM). FEM is used to calculate the dispersion diagram of an infinite periodic array and the capacitance of one pair of interdigital transducers (IDTs). COM parameters are then determined using these calculated data. As a result of COM calculations, a 6-port circuit representation is obtained for basic device elements such as IDTs, grating or IDT reflectors and delay lines. The frequency response of SAW devices composed of these elements can be systematically evaluated by cascading the 6-port circuits. As an example, a high frequency SAW filter with a ZnO/diamond/Si structure is designed.
