Influence of Electrodes Arrangement on the Quartz Resonator Equivalent Circuit

Jirí Zelenka and Josef Suchánek

Abstract The strip electrodes deposited on the main surfaces of the rotated Y-cut quartz plate in the Z’ direction and overlapping only in the central part of the plate excite a non-negligible electric field parallel to the surface of the plate. The influence of this field on the parameters of the electrical equivalent circuit and frequency-temperature characteristic of the AT-cut quartz plates is examined. The influence of this electric field parallel to the surface depends on the orientation of electrodes in the rectangular coordinate system of quartz.
