Abstract
Resonant frequency temperature coefficient is dependent on material properties, resonator dimensions and vibration mode. It could be effectively tuned by the resonator dimensions or by the domain structure in ferroelectric crystals. Optimum dimensions for the zero temperature coefficient resonator are calculated for ring radial vibration mode as a function of resonator dimensions (r 2/r 1 = 3.8 for hard PZT ceramics, APC841 type). There are similar results of the temperature coefficient calculations for PZT ceramics and crystal resonators. The temperature coefficient is generally smaller for higher overtones of resonant mode.
