[en] The X ray diffraction pattern of a Gulyaev-Bleustein surface acoustic wave (SAW) under grazing angles of incidence in noncoplanar symmetric Laue geometry has been considered. It is supposed that the propagation direction of an SAW makes a small angle with the diffraction vector. It is shown that small deviations from the Bragg angle (∼0.01'' induced by the SAW and do not affect the reflection coefficient lead to the formation of diffraction satellites both in the cases of standing and traveling SAWs. It has been established that the recorded diffraction pattern, which is a time-averaged intensity distribution, has characteristic profiles for odd and even satellites
