Abstract

Three electrode pairs are formed on a monolithic piezoelectric element which exhibits anisotropic properties with respect to its X and Z axes. The electrodes of each pair are located on opposite sides of the piezoelectric element, with all electrodes being of predetermined dimensions. The first and second electrode pairs are aligned on the X axes at a predetermined spacing therebetween. The second and third electrode pair are aligned on the Z axis, also at a predetermined spacing. In circuit operation, a signal to be processed is coupled to the first electrode pair and extracted from the third electrode pair, with the electrodes of the second pair shorted together. In this manner, the resonator displays a three pole passband characteristic having excellent spur suppression.
