What is SAW?

SAW stands for Surface Acoustic Wave. SAW devices are electromechanical transducers that convert electrical signals into mechanical waves on the surface of a piezoelectric substrate and vice versa. They are commonly used as filters, resonators, and sensors in radio frequency (RF) applications such as mobile phones, TVs, and other wireless communication devices. They offer advantages like small size, low cost, and good performance at high frequencies.
