            Abstract : 
A novel temperature-compensated SAW substrate was developed based on bonded LiTaO3/sapphire. Because of its small TEC (thermal expansion coefficient) and large Young´s modulus, sapphire is an ideal material for a support substrate. The frequency and temperature characteristics of the bonded LiTaO3/sapphire SAW substrate and its application to a US-PCS duplexer are described.
