Method of rotating a Bechmann curve of a quartz strip resonator

摘要: A method of rotating a non-temperature compensated Bechmann curve quartz strip. The includes the steps determining (102) whether crystallographic orientation an AT cut strip is within desired specification; selecting (104) predetermined nominal electrode coverage having width for in-specification strip; and tuning (106) out specification orientation, by: adjusting (108) with respect to width, bring out-of-specification crystal inflection point; (110) about point substantially approach curve.
