Claim:
1. A surface acoustic wave device comprising: a piezoelectric substrate; a configurable electrode assembly including; an array including N rows of M elongated electrode sub-elements, the elongated electrode sub-elements electrically isolated from each other, and electromechanically coupled with the piezoelectric substrate, the M elongated electrode sub-elements of the N rows arranged end-to-end in columns; a first signal bus proximate to the first row of the N rows of M elongated electrode sub-elements and electrically isolated therefrom; a first matrix of individually row addressable switches, each addressable row switch of the first matrix configured to electrically couple the first signal bus with a respective electrode sub-element of the first row of electrode sub-elements; a second signal bus proximate to the N a second matrix of individually addressable row switches, each addressable row switch of the second matrix configured to electrically couple the second signal bus with a respective electrode sub-element of the N a plurality of individually addressable column switches, each individually addressable column switch respectively configured to electrically couple an elongated electrode of a column of the M columns with an end-to-end adjacent elongated electrode of the same column of the M columns.
