Wideband low-loss surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filters employing interdigitated interdigital transducers (IIDTs) suitable for cellular radio systems are presented. The filters were fabricated on 36 degrees Y-X LiTaOtextlesssubtextgreater3textless/subtextgreater substrates. The sidelobe suppression has been improved by withdrawal weighting techniques. A design method which optimizes the weighting functions and the number of fingers has been worked out. In the 500-MHz band, fractional bandwidths of up to 5.2
