Ein derartiger bekann ter Interdigitalwandler zur Ankopplung an eine elektrische Last und/oder Quelle besitzt eine Vielzahl von Interdigital- Elektrodenfingern, von denen wenigstens einige gegenüber den anderen Elektrodenfingern eine unterschiedliche Breite besit zen, die als Funktion des Impedanzwertes der Last und/oder der Quelle gewählt ist, um durch die Last und/oder Quelle er zeugte Regenerationswellenreflexionen auszulöschen.Interdigital converter for SAW filters of the generic type are known from US-PS 4 162 465. Such a known ter interdigital converter for coupling to an electrical Load and / or source has a variety of interdigital Electrode fingers, at least some of which are opposite the other electrode fingers have a different width zen as a function of the impedance value of the load and / or the source is chosen to pass through the load and / or source witnessed to wipe out regeneration wave reflections.
Für verschiedenartige OFW-Filter, beispielsweise Fernseh-ZF- Filter oder Satellitenfilter, sind anwenderbedingt Last- und/oder Quellenimpedanzen vorgegeben, die sowohl nach Art - kapazitiv, induktiv oder reell - als auch nach Impedanzwert variieren können. Daraus ergeben sich sowohl nach Phase als auch nach Betrag variierende Reflexionen, welche Triple- Transit-Signale und damit Welligkeiten im Durchlaßbereich der Filtercharakteristik hervorrufen.For various SAW filters, for example television IF Filters or satellite filters, depending on the user, are load and / or Source impedances are given, which are of both types - capacitive, inductive or real - as well as by impedance value can vary. This results in both phase and reflections that vary according to amount, which triple Transit signals and thus ripples in the pass band Create filter characteristics.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Mög lichkeiten mindestens zur Verringerung von Reflexionen der vorgenannten Art anzugeben.The present invention has for its object, Mög possibilities at least to reduce reflections of the specify the aforementioned type.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem OFW-Filter der eingangs genann ten Art erfindungsgemäß durch die Maßnahmen nach dem kenn zeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. This task is called the beginning of an SAW filter ten kind according to the invention by the measures according to the drawing part of claim 1 solved.
Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteran sprüchen.Developments of the invention are the subject of Unteran sayings.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von Ausführungsbeispie len gemäß den Figuren der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigt:The invention is described below with reference to exemplary embodiments len explained in more detail according to the figures of the drawing. It shows:
Fig. 1 eine schematische Darstellung eines Ausschnitts aus einem Normalfinger-Interdigitalwandler bekannter Art; Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a section of a normal finger interdigital transducer of a known type.

Anhand von Fig. 1 wird zunächst eine kurze Erläuterung eines Normalfinger-Interdigitalwandlers gegeben. Ein derartiger In terdigitalwandler 10 umfaßt zwei Folgen von interdigital zu einander angeordneten Elektrodenfingern 10-1 bzw. 10-2 auf einem nicht eigens dargestellten piezoelektrischen Substrat, die jeweils über der Einfachheit halber ebenfalls nicht im einzelnen dargestellte Sammelschienen elektrisch miteinander verbunden sind. In einem OFW-Filter kann ein derartiger In terdigitalwandler elektrisch an eine Last und/oder eine Quelle angekoppelt sein, die schematisch durch eine Impedanz 11 angedeutet ist. Wie oben bereits ausgeführt, kann diese Impe danz 11 abhängig von der Art des OFW-Filters sowohl nach ih rer Art - kapazitiv, induktiv oder reell - als auch nach ih rem Impedanzwert variieren.Referring to Fig. 1, a brief explanation of a normal finger interdigital transducer will first be given. Such a terdigital transducer 10 comprises two sequences of interdigitally arranged electrode fingers 10-1 and 10-2 on a piezoelectric substrate, not shown, which are each electrically connected to each other for simplicity, also not shown in detail. In an SAW filter, such an interdigital converter can be electrically coupled to a load and / or a source, which is indicated schematically by an impedance 11 . As already explained above, depending on the type of SAW filter, this impedance 11 can vary both according to its type - capacitive, inductive or real - and according to its impedance value.
Für eine mindestens teilweise Kompensation von Triple- Transit-Signalen durch Reflexion an den Elektrodenfingern im Interdigitalwandler oder durch Regeneration an der Last ist erfindungsgemäß über die bereits aus der eingangs genannten US-PS 4 162 465 bekannte Variation von Elektrodenfingerbrei ten eine Variation der Lage und/oder der Anzahl von im Inter digitalwandler vorgesehenen reflektierenden Elektrodenfingern vorgesehen. For at least partial compensation of triple Transit signals by reflection on the electrode fingers in the Interdigital converter or by regeneration on the load according to the invention from those already mentioned in the introduction U.S. Patent No. 4,162,465 known variation of electrode finger paste a variation of the location and / or the number of in the inter digital transducer provided reflective electrode fingers intended.
