Generation of Acousto-Electrical waves using a source of transverse vibrations

The paper presents a theoretical analysis of the generation of transverse surface waves, using a linear source of vibrations, placed in the plane in which the generated wave propagates. On the basis of the results of the theory pre¬sented, the problem of the generation of a surface wave excited by a source of finite dimensions in the form of piezoelectric plates is considered. This method of wave generation was used for the generation of transverse surface waves on a piezoelectric ceramic and on niobiate and iodate of lithium.
