Elastic wave measurement apparatus and method
First Claim
1. An elastic wave measurement apparatus configured to measure response characteristics from a plurality of elastic wave devices configured to excite elastic waves in accordance with input of a high-frequency signal, the apparatus comprising:
- a single high-frequency signal generator configured to generate the high-frequency signal;
an input device configured to input the high-frequency signal to each of the elastic wave devices;
a switching configures to, when the high-frequency signal is input to a first elastic wave device, switch in sequence an input destination of the high-frequency signal to another one of the elastic wave devices before a detection time at which an output signal from the first elastic wave device is detected;
a detector configured to, at and after the detection time, detect in sequence output signals of response characteristics of those elastic wave devices from the first elastic wave device to a last elastic wave device; and
a measurement device configured to measure elastic waves excited at each of the elastic wave devices based on the output signals detected by the detector.

Abstract
The elastic wave measurement apparatus, when a high-frequency burst signal is input to the first ball SAW device, an input destination of the high-frequency burst signal is switched in sequence to another one of the ball SAW devices before a detection time at which an output signal from the first ball SAW device is detected, and at and after the detection time, output signals of the response characteristics of those ball SAW devices from the first ball SAW device to the last ball SAW device are detected in sequence.
