    Abstract

    The properties of Rayleigh waves operating both at radio frequency (RF) and at high temperatures (HT) on langasite crystal cuts with Euler angles of (0/spl deg/, 138.5/spl deg/, 26.6/spl deg/) and (0/spl deg/, 30.1/spl deg/, 26.6/spl deg/) are investigated. By evaluating the frequency response of surface acoustic wave (SAW) test devices the SAW velocity, the coupling factor, and the propagation attenuation have been determined experimentally in a temperature range from 20/spl deg/C to 500/spl deg/C. The SAW devices could be operated up to frequencies of 3 GHz. However, considering a future sensor application a limiting factor is a strong increase of the acoustic losses in conjunction with frequency and temperature.
