Theoretical and experimental study of transverse-horizontal convolver
The letter presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies for the transverse-horizontal convolver (THC) fabricated on LiNbO3. First, the definition of the figure of merit for the THC is proposed and, secondly, the existence of the crystal orientation and the direction of propagation with high efficiency and large electromechanical coupling coefficient for an LiNbO3 SAW THC is shown.
