DETAILED DESCRIPTION What we claim is: 1.
An elastic surface wave apparatus which comprises a Y-cut piezoelectric substrate of lithium niobate (LiNbO.
sub.
3) and provided with a surface defined by the X and Z axes and at least one electrode pair for converting an electric signal into an elastic surface wave which is disposed on said surface at an angle of inclination ranging betwween 0.
5.
degree.
and 7.
degree.
relative to the Z axis so as to cause an elastic surface wave to be propagated in a direction inclined at an angle ranging from 0.
5.
degree.
to 7.
degree.
relative to the Z axis.
2.
The elastic surface wave apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the transmission and reception electrode pairs are disposed on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate at a prescribed distance.
3.
The elastic surface wave apparatus according to claim 1, which comprises an insulation substrate over the surface of which an elastic surface wave can be propagated; first and second Y-cut piezoelectric substrates of lithium niobate (LiNbO.
sub.
3) spatially arranged on the surface of said insulation substrate, and provided with a surface defined by the X and Z axes; and one electrode pair for converting on electric signal into an elastic surface wave which is mounted on each of said first and second piezoelectric substrates at an angle of inclination ranging between 0.
5.
degree.
to 7.
degree.
relative to the Z axis.
4.
The elastic surface wave apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the piezoelectric substrate has a rectangular form, the lengthwise side of which is made parallel with the Z axis and the crosswise side of which is made parallel with the X axis.
5.
The elastic surface wave apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the piezoelectric substrate has a rhomboidal parallelogram, the lengthwise side of which is made parallel with the Z axis, and the crosswise side of which is disposed at right angles to the main propagation axis of an elastic surface wave.
6.
The elastic surface wave apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the piezoelectric substrate has a rectangular form, the lengthwise side of which is made parallel with the main propagation axis of an elastic surface wave, and the crosswise side of which is disposed at right angles to the main propagation axis of an elastic surface wave
