Abstract

A ZT-cut quartz crystal resonator comprises two thin rectangular plates connected together by at least one resonant arm which itself is connected to a support zone by a linking bar. A pair of electrodes is provided on the quartz resonator for receiving alternating electrical signals of opposite polarity for effecting in-phase contour-mode vibration of the plates while making the arms to vibrate in opposite phase to the plates.
