Which mechanism causes a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter's center frequency shift with temperature change?

💡 Explanation

With temperature change, a SAW filter's substrate undergoes thermal expansion, modifying acoustic wavelength because the operating frequency relies on precise spacing, leading to center frequency drift downward. Therefore changed wavelength is the cause, rather than piezoelectric variation, dielectric shift, or impedance mismatch which have different effects.
