Abstract
Flicker or 1/f noise has been observed in many different physical systems, and Rayleigh wave devices are no exception. Flicker noise has been reported for both Rayleigh wave delay lines and resonators [1,2] as well as bulk acoustic wave (BAW) devices [3,4]. Though the ultimate source of the 1/f noise is not yet understood, some less fundamental questions are now beginning to be answered. For resonators, these questions involve the influence of Q, device frequency and one port versus two port design on 1/f noise levels. For delay lines the parameters under question are delay time and device frequency. In both cases fabrication and enviromental parameters may also influence the 1/f noise levels.
