    About Quartz Crystal Resonator Noise: Recent Study

    The first step, before investigating physical origins of noise in resonators, is to investigate correlations between external measurement parameters and the resonator noise. Tests and measurements are mainly performed on an advanced phase noise measurement system, recently set up. The resonator noise is examined as a function of the sensitivity to the drive level, the temperature operating point and the tuning capacitor.Comment: 20th International Conference on Noise and Fluctuations, Pisa : Italie (2009

    International audienceThe present paper reviews and compares the properties of vibrating beam resonators in length-extensional, flexural and cylindrical-torsional modes; resonators are designed and built with new piezoelectric materials: Gallium orthophosphate (GaPO(4)), Langasite (LGS) and Langatate (LGT). Their characteristics are compared with the results obtained with the same structures built in classical Quartz crystal. For all 3 new crystals, temperature-compensated cuts have been found for length-extensional and flexural modes by a theoretical analysis. Experiments have been made on test beams fabricated by conventional precision lapping/machining and photolithography to deposit electrodes. The existence of temperature-compensated cuts for length-extensional resonators is experimentally confirmed. The possibilities of using temperature-compensated cylindrical resonators in the torsional modes are analysed and their temperature sensitivity is computed

    Analytical model of cylindrical cross-section resonators in GaPO4_{\bf 4} vibrating in torsional modes

    No full text
    A theoretical investigation of cylindrical cross-section GaPO4_{4} vibrating beam resonators in torsional modes is given. Temperature effects are introduced by the approximate but classical method of varying effective material constants, beam dimensions and crystal mass density versus temperature. Temperature compensated cuts are presented. An equivalent circuit model and analysis of coupling factor versus crystal orientation are also reported
