Surface acoustic wave technology
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses tiny sound waves that travel along the surface of a material, usually a crystal. When an electrical signal is applied to specialized parts called transducers, it creates these sound waves, which can detect, filter, or process signals. SAW devices are commonly used in filters for mobile phones, sensors, and other electronic systems because they are compact, reliable, and precise. The technology leverages the interaction between electrical signals and mechanical vibrations on the surface of the material to perform various functions efficiently and accurately.
