Title: AM/FM time division surface wave device transmitter

Abstract: A device for sample modulating electronic information signals which includes mixing circuitry having a first input coupled to receive information signals, a second input for receiving electrical sampling signals, and an output for generating thereon electrical output signals proportional to the product of the information signals and the sampling signals. Also included is an acoustic surface wave device having an impulse response of predetermined shape and finite length. The surface wave device has an output coupled to the second input of the mixing circuit for generating thereon the sampling signals. These signals are proportional to the finite impulse response of predetermined shape, and accordingly have a highly controllable frequency spectrum.
