ABSTRACT:
A SAW oscillator circuit including a housing having disposed therein a surface wave propagation supporting substrate with a pair of transducers coupled by surface waves propagating through the substrate and electronic circuitry connected to the pair of transducers and arranged to provide, with the connected resonator, the SAW oscillator circuit. A weight is attached to the resonator. The housing is susceptible of vibratory deflections which induce vibratory deflections in the substrate and the weight suppresses the vibratory deflections induced in the substrate of the resonator. With such arrangement, while sufficiently thick externally mounted stiffeners are not used because of space limitations, the effects of vibratory deflections induced in the substrate of the insufficiently thick, or un-stiffened housing are compensated by the weight attached to the resonator.
