Microwave Acoustics Handbook. Volume 3. Bulk Wave Velocities.

Abstract : Information useful of the design of acoustic delay lines, resonators, and other miniature, low cost, reliable devices for use in communications and electronic sensing is given in this report. Computations of bulk acoustic wave velocities, power flow angles, and coupling to electric fields are plotted for various orientations of the following single crystalline materials: Ba2NaNb5O15, Bi12GeO20, CdS, Diamond, Eu3Fe5O15, Gadolinium Gallium Garnet, GaAs, Germanium, InSb, InAs, Lead Molybdate, PbS, LiNbO3, LiTaO3, MgO, Quartz, Rutile, Sapphire, Silicon, Spinel, TeO2, YAG, YGaG, YIG, and ZnO. Particular cuts of interest, including cases for common metals, are then chosen for more detailed numerical calculations of mechanical and electrical parameters governing acoustic wave propagation in these media. A list of material constants is also included. (Author)
