Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
AN ELECTROMECHANICAL DEVICE COMPRISING A UNITARY BODY HAVING BOTH PIEZOELECTRIC AND SEMICONDUCTOR PROPERTIES, MEANS FOR PROGAGTING AN ACOUSTIC WAVE SIGNAL THROUGH SAID BODY THEREBY GENERATING A SIGNIFICANT PIEZOELECTRIC FIELD, AND MEANS INCLUDING A D.C. BIAS SOURCE FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY ESTABLISHING A D.C. FIELD IN SAID BODY, SAID FIELD HAVING A MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION SUCH THAT THE DRIFT VELOCITY OF THE CARRIERS RESPONSIVE TO SAID FIELD HAS A VELOCITY COMPONENT ALONG THE AXIS DEFINED BY THE DIRECTION OF SAID ACOUSTIC WAVE PROPAGATION WHEREBY THE CARRIERS OF SAID D.C. FIELD INTERACT WITH THE SAID ACOUSTIC WAVE IN A MANNER SO AS TO MODIFY THE AMPLITUDE OF THE ACOUSITC WAVE.
