After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand surface acoustic wave components and to choose saw filter and resonator devices for application in communication systems. Knowledge of further special saw components complete the learning goals.
Surface acoustic wave devices (SAW) are applied in a continously growing number in almost every (but not only) mobile communication system, but they are almost not present in the education. The lecture willl introduce into the topic. It also gives practical hints and applications dealing with SAW devices.
