Analytical Investigations of the Acceleration Sensitivity of Acoustic Surface Wave Resonators
Abstract
An analysis of the normal and in-plane acceleration sensitivity of acoustic surface wave resonators supported uniformly at the base has been performed. The calculations were not performed over the actual surface wave mode shape, but only over a typical wavelength because a convenient representation of the mode shape was not yet available. In order to obtain information on the acceleration sensitivity of surface wave resonators supported along rectangular edges relatively quickly, somewhat crude analyses of the normal and in-plane acceleration sensitivities of ST-cut quartz surface wave resonators were performed. A variational analysis of the reflection of surface waves by arrays of reflecting grooves has been performed and the transmission matrix for the grooved array has been obtained. Analysis of the normal acceleration sensitivity of ST-cut quartz surface wave resonators with the substrate extending beyond the supports has been performed. Keywords: Acoustic surface wave resonators; Surface wave resonators; Wave resonators; Resonators; Quartz.
