Italian term or phrase: Propagazione di onde di superficie
Seguito dall'acronimo inglese SAW. Non so però se l'acronimo si riferisca solo a "onde di superficie" (allora penso sarebbe "surface acoustic waves"). Altrimenti, gradirei sapere la sigla per esteso, e se quel "propagazione" va reso con "propagation" o come.

The reason that they are not specified after the acronym is that the acoustics are problably understood by the contexts.

Explanation:
si tratta di onde acustiche?

pare che l'acronimo abbia tale significato, vedi

http://scatterbrain.ssd.ornl.gov/NSatHFIR/RecentResearch/WAH...
e altri ancora.

Penso che questo tipo di conferme siano semplici da effettuare, basta utilizzare due parole chiave (io ho usato SAW e waves in Google) e gli esempi abbondano, con possibilita' di verificare se il contesto e' adatto oppure si tratta di qualcosa di non inerente.
Inoltre tu puoi fare questi controlli con informazioni molto superiori a quelle che puoi fornire in un breve quesito.

ciao
