Suppression of Electromagnetic Crosstalk by Differential Excitation for SAW Generation

Abstract

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) hold a vast potential in various fields such as spintronics, quantum acoustics, and electron-quantum optics, but an electromagnetic wave emanating from SAW generation circuits has often been a major hurdle. Here, we investigate a differential excitation method of interdigital transducers (IDTs) to generate SAWs while reducing the electromagnetic wave. The results show that electromagnetic waves are suppressed by more than 90% in all directions. This suppression overcomes the operating limits and improves the scalability of SAW systems. Our results promise to facilitate the development of SAW-based applications in a wide range of research fields.
