Resonators

Basic Knowledge of Ceramic Resonators "CERALOCK®"

The ceramic resonators ("CERALOCK®") utilize the mechanical resonance of piezoelectric ceramics, typically of lead zirconate titanate (PZT), which provide various vibration behaviors (modes) depending on the resonance frequency.

Conventionally, quartz crystal resonators are well known mechanical resonators. On the other hand, CR and LC oscillation circuits are resonators utilizing electrical resonance.
