摘要:
The embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for simulating a SAW and/or an LSAW device, while taking into account the temperature and residual stress of the device into consideration. The simulation involves transforming an equation of variational principle of elasticity into an equation of variational total potential energy with combined effects of temperature and residual stress. The transformation considers frequency-temperature relation and the effect of initial deformation caused by residual stress. The equation of variational total potential energy is then transformed into a finite element equation by considering the periodic constraints of the SAW or LSAW device. Afterwards, the finite element equation is solved to obtain eigen values and frequencies of the SAW or LSAW device. By considering the effects of stress and residual stress simultaneously during equation transformation, solving the eigen values and frequencies of the SAW or LSAW device becomes a single step process, instead of a multi-step process.

An angular velocity sensor includes a protrusion protruding in a Y′-axis direction and extending in an X-axis direction on a main surface of a rotated Y cut quartz plate, and an excitation electrode and a detection electrode formed on the main surface adjacent to this protrusion. This excitation electrode excites thickness-shear vibration in the X-axis direction on the quartz substrate, exiting vibration on the protrusion. Then, the protrusion is bent and displaced due to Coriolis force acting in a direction orthogonal to the vibration of the protrusion corresponding to a rotation around an Y′ axis. This displacement at the protrusion is applied to the quartz substrate as stress. The detection electrode detects change of this stress, thereby angular speed added to the angular velocity sensor is detected.

摘要:
The invention miniaturizes a surface acoustic wave device on which a plurality of surface acoustic wave elements are disposed and connected together in parallel on a plate, and provides a good temperature characteristic in a wide temperature range. A surface acoustic wave device according to the invention includes a plurality of surface acoustic wave elements disposed on a main surface of a quartz plate cut out with a Euler angle at (0°, 113° to 135°, +/−(40 to 49)°). Surface acoustic waves have propagation directions “ψ” which are different each other. When the Euler angle is set at (0°, θ, ψ), it is possible to reduce differences in each propagation direction by setting each propagation angle so as to satisfy a formula: ψ=0.3295θ+3.3318°+/−1.125°. This makes it possible to decrease the angle among the surface acoustic wave elements, and thereby miniaturizes the surface acoustic wave elements.

The invention provides an in-plane rotational ST-cut SAW resonator that is formed of an in-plane rotational ST-cut crystal plate having Eulerian angles of (0°, 113° to 135°, and ±(40° to 49°)). The in-plane rotational ST-cut SAW resonator can include an interdigital transducer (IDT) electrode for exciting a Rayleigh wave on the main surface. The ratio Lt/Pt of the electrode width Lt and the interelectrode pitch Pt of the IDT electrode is 0.5 or more and 0.65 or less. Accordingly, a reduction in the fluctuation in resonance frequency relative to the variations in an IDT electrode of a surface acoustic wave device by using the in-plane rotated ST-cut crystal plate around the Z′-axis can be achieved.
摘要:
A high-precision surface acoustic wave (SAW) device improves the frequency-temperature characteristics of a conventional surface acoustic wave device several-fold. In this high-precision surface acoustic wave device, two one-port SAW resonators, or two two-port SAW resonators, alternatively, two one-port-resonator-type, two-port-resonator-type or transversal-type filters are placed in parallel with each other. Further, these resonators or filters are excited and are elastically coupled to each other in such a way as to be in an oblique symmetry mode. Moreover, the frequency-temperature characteristics of the two elements are made to differ from each other. Furthermore, a flat frequency-temperature characteristic, which cannot be realized by a single element, is realized by being synthesized from the frequency-temperature characteristics of the two elements.
