Abstract
HACT (heterojunction acoustic charge transport) devices have been produced which use an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure for vertical charge confinement. Results for a tapped delay line and for a 50 tap transversal filter are shown. The devices have a transfer efficiency of 0.9994, and have less than 3 dB rolloff below the Nyquist frequency. The transversal filter gave 5.6 dB insertion loss, and 11.8 dB sidelobe rejection, which was within 1.5 dB of a simple Fourier transform model
