An acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate, an interdigital transducer (IDT) electrode provided on the piezoelectric substrate, and a pair of reflectors provided on both sides of the IDT electrode in a first direction on the piezoelectric substrate, the first direction being a propagation direction of an acoustic wave. The pair of reflectors include a plurality of electrode fingers and a plurality of electrode fingers, respectively, which extend in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction. The electrode finger widths of second end portions are greater than the electrode finger widths of first end portions. The electrode finger width at any given position in the electrode fingers is equal to or greater than the electrode finger width at a position closer than the given position to the first end portions.

A longitudinally coupled resonator acoustic wave filter includes a piezoelectric substrate, IDT electrodes on the piezoelectric substrate along an acoustic wave propagation direction, and a pair of reflectors on the piezoelectric substrate on both sides of the IDT electrodes in the acoustic wave propagation direction. Each of the reflectors includes first and second reflector busbars, and first reflective electrode fingers connected to at least one of the first reflector busbar and the second reflector busbar. The reflector includes a first portion in which lengths of the first reflective electrode fingers change in the acoustic wave propagation direction.

An electroacoustic filter has improved low-pass characteristics. The filter includes a first electroacoustic converter, an electroacoustic element and a grid structure between the converter and the element. The grid structure is acoustically active in one frequency range that lies above the acoustically active frequency range of the first electroacoustic converter.

A filter working with surface acoustic waves comprises a piezoelectric substrate (SU), a first transducer (IDT1) arranged in the acoustic track coupled to an input, having a first mean finger period (pi) assigned to a center frequency of a pass band of the filter and a second transducer (IDT2) arranged in the acoustic track coupled to an output, having the same first mean finger period (p1), and a reflector arranged between first and second transducer having a second mean finger period (p2) assigned to a stop band frequency different from the center frequency. Further, a new type of very broad bandwidth filters with small insertion loss and high return loss and high rejection are given that use a substrate that can propagate a PSAW and comprises fan shaped transducers.

A structure of a longitudinal leaky surface acoustic wave (LL-SAW) resonator and a filter includes a substrate, a piezoelectric thin film provided on the substrate, and an electrode array provided on the piezoelectric thin film, where the electrode array includes an interdigital transducer (IDT) array and a reflector grating electrode array; and a center distance between reflector grating electrodes in the reflector grating electrode array is less than a center distance between IDTs in the IDT array. Based on a nonstandard reflector (NSR) grating structure provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, by reducing the center distance between the reflector grating electrodes in the reflector grating electrode array, the present disclosure can improve a reflective frequency range of the reflector grating electrode array, thereby suppressing a spurious mode of the LL-SAW, and improving performance of the LL-SAW resonator.
