1. A touch panel device for detecting a position of an object by using a surface acoustic wave, comprising:
- a plurality of input IDTs, disposed to correspond to a plurality of tracks of a substrate where the surface acoustic wave can be propagated, respectively, for exciting surface acoustic waves; and
a plurality of output IDTs, disposed to correspond to said plurality of tracks, respectively, for receiving the surface acoustic waves which have been excited by said plurality of input IDTs and propagated along said substrate, wherein each of said plurality of input IDTs has a wideband electrode structure, and each of said plurality of output IDTs has a matched filter structure for obtaining an output signal upon receipt of a specific signal sequence, the specific signal sequence varying according to each of said plurality of tracks.

Abstract
A touch panel device includes a plurality of input IDTs for exciting surface acoustic waves and a plurality of output IDTs for receiving the surface acoustic waves, corresponding to a plurality of tracks on a non-piezoelectric substrate, and each input IDT has a wideband electrode structure and each output IDT has a matched filter structure for outputting a large output upon receipt of a specific binary signal sequence. A signal obtained by arranging a plurality of specific signal sequences in time series is applied to each input IDT.
