               The disclosed invention relates to a device and a method               
          of producing an acoustic wave device that comprises a                       
          substrate, a transducer disposed on the substrate, and                      
          reflectors disposed at first and second acoustic ports of the               
          transducer.  Each of the reflectors includes a number N of
