Interdigital transducer analysis using equivalent PSpice model

Interdigital transducers generating surface acoustic waves have found numerous applications. The present paper deals with an equivalent model of a single interdigital transducer as well as an SAW filter complying with the PSpice programme for the analysis of electronic systems. The suggested model makes it possible to take into account such effects as interelectrode reflections, losses along the acoustic path and the electromagnetic coupling between the transducers. The obtained results of the analysis of an interdigital transducer comply with the results obtained basing on an admittance model and delta-function model. The final aim is to model an SAW oscillator.
