A Theoretical Analysis of Mechanical Dissipation of an Electroded Quartz Resonator

Pin Lu, Feng Shen, and Haibo Chen

ABSTRACT In this paper, the dissipation effects of an electroded AT-cut quartz resonator due to the intrinsic damping of the quartz plate and the surface damping of the coated electrodes are discussed. The results obtained provide a theoretical understanding of the energy losses by these effects.
