The elastodynamic model is used to calculate the dispersion of surface acoustic waves in the film and also provides an efficient algorithm for the inverse problem of characterizing the film from measured values of the dispersion.
Acoustic wave detectors -- sensitive scientific instruments about the size of a microscope slide -- rely on ultrasonic waves to detect a variety of materials.
Module content typically includes multiple die-level devices created using TriQuint's highly-regarded gallium arsenide (GaAs) processes for the power amplifier and matching circuitry, as well as surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology for filtering and duplexing.
