Piezoelectric Ceramic Resonators

This book helps the reader to understand the specific properties of piezoelectric ceramic resonators. It provides their theoretical description by immitance and equivalent circuit method. The nummerical modelling described is accompanied by examples of properties measured experimentally. Piezoelectric ceramic transformers are also covered, followed by a series of solved and unsolved problems prepared specially for students.

Prof. Jiri Erhart works at the Technical University of Liberec and at the research institute VUTS, a.s. in Liberec, Czech Republic. He is the Head of the Piezoelectricity Research Laboratory at the Department of Physics and his reasearch interests are on piezoelectricity and piezoelectric materials, ferroelectric domains and domain engineering, piezoelectric ceramics transformers, resonators, and actuators.
