Introduction to Quartz Crystals
This course provides a detailed overview of piezoelectric effect, resonator structures, cuts, vibration modes and overtones. (Oct 2022)
This course provides a detailed overview of piezoelectric effect, resonator structures, cuts, vibration modes and overtones. There will also be a comparison between AT and SC cut crystals for frequency vs temperature performance. Finally, it explains how quartz is used to become a resonator and how the resonators are implemented into designs.
