Abstract
A perturbation analysis is presented for the reduction in the coupling coefficient ΔV/V of an interdigital transducer that is spaced away from the surface of a piezoelectric substrate by a thin isotropic nonpiezoelectric dielectric film. The analysis shows that the static capacitance and coupling ΔV/V are reduced rapidly by the addition of thin dielectric films, while the series radiation resistance is relatively insensitive to film thickness for films less than approximately 0.03 wavelengths.
