Abstract In this dissertation, novel investigations are presented for modeling and simulation of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. We hope that the Presented results through this framework to be a strong seed for a SAW production line in Egypt, in the near future.A minute notion for an accurate design of SAW delay lines, resonators and their applications is presented. Fundamental and detailed studies for the frequency response of SAW delay line built upon Quartz crystal at 70MHz synchronous frequency are investigated. A high performance SAW delay line is constructed with minimum insertion loss using different CAD tools. A way for probing the propagation of Surface Acoustic Waves upon piezoelectric substrate materials (e.g. lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) and Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is performed. 3-D Finite element modeling was the best modeling technique choice to perform the time domain (transient) analysis of SAW delay line at different operating frequencies. The simulation results recorded using COMSOL tool with nominal Hardware specifications of PC. Different schematics for one and two-port of 433MHz SAW resonators (SAWR) are built using equivalent circuit model (ECM). Scattering parameters and insertion loss are predicted through frequency domain simulation study using ADS tool. IV Different schematics for colpitts oscillators using SAWR are compared with those of LC tank circuits in feedback circuit. AC sweep simulations used to predict S-parameters of oscillators using ADS and Proteus. The amplification stage of the oscillator design is performed using both operational amplifier and BJT. Development of one and two-port 433MHz SAWR resonators based finite element modelling through COMSOL is investigated. This dissertation contributes to use diversified simulation methods for building and development sundry models for SAW delay lines and resonators with their applications in the communications field. It also contributes to use newfangled CAD tools for a fulfillment of the simulation processes. Finally, it contributes to put imagine for reverse extracting the equivalent circuit model parameters of SAWR from the simulation results.
