Abstract
Abstract In a surface acoustic wave elastic convolver capable of showing sufficiently high convolution efficiency with a simple structure, the convolver comprises a piezo-electric substrate, plural input transducers formed on the substrate for respectively generating surface acoustic waves corresponding to input signals, an output transducer for obtaining a convolution signal of the input signals, from a surface acoustic wave generated by non-linear interaction, of the surface acoustic waves generated by those input transducers, and a dielectric film of a non-linear effect larger than that of the substrate, formed on the substrate in at least an area where the output transducer is formed.
