Systems Applications of Magnetostatic and Acoustic Wave Devices

The applications and use of magnetostatic and acoustic wave signal processing devices in systems will be described. Magnetostatic wave and surface acoustic wave (SAW) technologies are complementary in that the frequency range of SAW devices is 10 MHz to 1 GHz, the traditional range of intermediate frequency processing, while that for magnetostatic devices is 1 to 15 GHz, the traditional microwave range.
