Temperature coefficients of SAW delay and velocity for Y-cut and rotated LiNbO/sub 3/

Measurements that indicate that the surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) temperature coefficients of delay and velocity over approximately room temperature to +100 degrees C for the popular cuts of lithium niobate are presented. These values of delay coefficient are close to the value previously given for Y-cut LiNbO/sub 3/ but are significantly different from values given for the rotated cuts.<
