AbstractSurface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are used in a wide range of applications including sensing and microfluidics, and are now being developed for applications such as quantum computing. As with photonics, and other electromagnetic radiation, metamaterials offer an exciting route to control and manipulate SAW propagation, which could lead to new device concepts and paradigms. In this work we demonstrate that a phononic metamaterial comprising an array of annular hole resonators can be used to realise frequency control of SAW velocity. We show, using simulations and experiment, that metamaterial patterning on a lithium niobate substrate allows control of SAW phase velocities to values slower and faster than the velocity in an unpatterned substrate; namely, to ~85% and ~130% of the unpatterned SAW velocity, respectively. This approach could lead to novel designs for SAW devices, such as delay lines and chirp filters, but could also be applied to other elastic waves.

Integration of nanostructures with acoustic delay lines within planar technologies give the chance of development the acoustonanoelectronic sensors with high sensitivity and selectivity. An initial step in this direction is investigation of interaction of tunnel nanostructures with acoustic piezoactive waves propagating in piezoelectric substrates. In this work the technology of nanowire production on the surface of lithium niobate plate has been developed. This technology is based on using electronic lithography method with help an electronic beam in a raster electronic microscope. The nanostructure consisting of nanowire with size 20nm x 180nm was placed in the center between IDTs of acoustic delay line. The volt-ampere characteristics of this nanowire in presence and at the absence of the acoustic wave were meazured by picoampermeter. The analysis has shown that presence of piezoactive acoustic wave is influenced on electric current in a nanowire.

Saw Resonators

Nowadays, surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators are attracting growing attention, owing to their widespread applications in various engineering fields, such as electronic, telecommunication, automotive, chemical, and biomedical engineering. A thorough assessment of SAW performance is a key task for bridging the gap between commercial SAW devices and practical applications. To contribute to the accomplishment of this crucial task, the present paper reports the findings of a new comparative study that is based on the performance evaluation of different commercial SAW resonators by using scattering (S-) parameter measurements coupled with a Lorentzian fitting and an accurate modelling technique for the straightforward extraction of a lumped-element equivalent-circuit representation. The developed investigation thus provides ease and reliability when choosing the appropriate commercial device, depending on the requirements and constraints of the given sensing application. This paper deals with the performance evaluation of commercial surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators by means of scattering (S-) parameter measurements and an equivalent-circuit model extracted using a reliable modeling procedure. The studied devices are four TO-39 packaged two-port resonators with different nominal operating frequencies: 418.05, 423.22, 433.92, and 915 MHz. The S-parameter characterization was performed locally around the resonant frequencies of the tested SAW resonators by using an 8753ES Agilent vector network analyzer (VNA) and a home-made calibration kit. The reported measurement-based study has allowed for the development of a comprehensive and detailed comparative analysis of the performance of the investigated SAW devices. The characterization and modelling procedures are fully automated with a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) developed in the Python environment, thereby making the experimental analysis faster and more efficient.
