Abstract

Oscillators that use resonator elements formed from langasite or one of its isomorphs are described herein. The resonator elements include crystal orientations that are stress and/or temperature compensated. The resonators vibrate at an oscillating frequency in a thickness-shear mode of vibration. The oscillating frequency can be used to derive temperature, derive pressure, and/or for frequency control applications.
