New method of parasitic mode suppression in lateral-field-excited piezoelectric resonator

摘要

A new method of parasitic mode suppression in piezoelectric resonators with transverse (lateral) electric field is described, which employs the partial coverage of electrodes by a damping layer. The potential of the proposed method is demonstrated for a resonator based on an X-cut lithium niobate plate. It is experimentally confirmed that an acoustic wave with transverse electric polarization exhibits stiffening, the degree of which depends on both the electromechanical coupling coefficient and the wave aperture.
