Abstract :
This paper reviews the principal advances with microwave frequency sources that use mechanical vibrations and waves in their frequency-controlling elements. Specifically, the review discusses the direction microwave acoustic technology has taken in the utilization of bulk acoustic-wave (BAW), surface acoustic-wave (SAW), shallow bulk acoustic wave (SBAW), thin-film membrane, and composite structures to generate stable microwave frequency sources in the range from 100 MHz to 1 GHz and above.
