58-MHz surface-acoustic-wave video intermediate-frequency filter using ZnO-sputtered film

Abstract
The acoustic‐surface‐wave filter for the use of video intermediate frequency at 58 MHz was fabricated using an rf‐sputtered ZnO film overlying the interdigital electrodes and the wave path on a glass substrate, and its fundamental properties for practical application were studied. The average and easily reproducible insertion loss characteristics are as follows: 16 dB at the minimum, 5(+16) dB at chromatic and picture signal carrier frequencies, 15(+16) dB at sound signal carrier frequency, more than 55(+16) dB at trap frequencies for adjacent channels, and 35(+16) dB at the maximum side lobe. The triple transit echo suppression is more than 30 dB. The temperature coefficient of the frequency characteristic is 30 ppm/°C. 400 days of aging has shown no significant change in the filter.
