Abstract
Abstract A surface wave filter with symmetrical input and output transducers is shown. The input transducer has mirror image symmetry about a center line. The output transducers have mirror image symmetry about a line displaced one-fourth wavelength from the center line of the input transducer to provide differential output signals.
