Waves in Piezoelectric Crystals for Frequency Control and Signal Processing

Abstract

We give a brief survey of the types of acoustic waves that propagate in piezoelectric crystals, touching upon some of the most useful crystal cuts, and some of the practical structures currently used. Materials that may substitute for quartz are considered. Equivalent network structures are dealt with for the characterization of devices, and examples of typical responses achieved for bulk, surface, and shallow bulk configurations are given.
