ABSTRACT:
A thickness extensional piezoelectric resonator utilizes harmonics of a thickness extensional vibration mode and has a significantly reduced size and significantly increased capacitance while not being susceptible to the effects of the stray capacitance of a circuit board upon which the resonator is mounted. The resonator includes a piezoelectric strip, first and second excitation electrodes located on one of two respective major surfaces of the piezoelectric strip, and internal electrodes disposed inside the piezoelectric strip. The first and second excitation electrodes are located on opposite sides of the piezoelectric strip. The internal electrodes are located opposite to the first and second excitation electrodes to thereby define a vibrating portion. Vibration-attenuating portions are located on opposite sides of the vibrating portion only along the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric strip. No vibration-attenuating portions are located in the lateral direction of the piezoelectric strip.
