TOUCH SAW
The Touch surface wave has transmitting and receiving piezoelectric transducers for the X and Y axes mounted directly on the faceplate.
The ultrasonic waves within the surface of the glass are directed across the faceplate by an array of reflectors. Reflectors on the opposite side gather and direct the waves to the receiving transducer, which reconverts them into an electrical signal. The process is repeated for each axis.
By touching the screen, a portion of the waves traveling across it are absorbed. The received signals for X and Y are compared to the stored digital maps, the change is recognized and a coordinate is calculated.
