Frequency-Temperature Coefficients of Mass-Loaded Plate Vibrators.
Abstract
The report considers a single thickness mode of a piezoelectric crystal plate, and relates both the characteristic frequencies and their temperature coefficients to the phenomenological material properties of the crystal and the electrode mass-loading. It is shown how mass-loading affects the frequency-temperature characteristics of the plate vibrator. Experimental results prove the existence of another factor, that depends on the electrode material, which contributes significantly to the temperature behavior.
