13. It can be easily shown that Prf (mW) 1/2 is proportional to the SAW amplitude VSAW because Prf =Β PSAW where Β is the attenuation due to the impedance mismatching between coaxial line and IDT at a fixed frequency, and P SAW 1/2 is proportional to the SAW amplitude VSAW.

15. The offset in bias voltage due to current amplifier or other sources was less than 70 μV. Also, the error of the uncalibrated current amplifier (Ithaco 1211) could not exceed 1% as we checked by comparing with other calibrated source.
