Abstract :
The dispersion characteristics of surface transverse waves (STW) on 36/spl deg/ rotated Y-cut quartz have been analyzed numerically. A closed form dispersion relation has been derived and introduced in the equations of the coupling-of-modes (COM) theory to account for the variation of energy trapping with frequency. The transmission and reflection coefficients at the finger edges have been determined from the stopband characteristics. Through the introduction of an electromechanical coupling which varies linearly with the electrode mass loading, quantitative agreement with experimental results on two different types of two-port STW resonators has been achieved, and characteristic features have been explained.
