等の種々の不都合がある。In general, piezoelectric elements such as lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) and lithium niobate (LtNbo3) have a large electromechanical coupling coefficient, so they are useful as piezoelectric materials for broadband filters and wide variable width voltage-controlled oscillators. In particular, efforts are being made to put a thick-walled resonator using lithium tantalate into practical use because it is easy to process and has relatively good temperature characteristics. However, in such a vibrator using lithium tantalate, the displacement directions are perpendicular to each other, and two thickness-beam vibrations having different electromechanical coupling coefficients are simultaneously excited. For this reason, if one vibration is the main vibration, the other vibration is the sub-vibration, and this sub-vibration causes various inconveniences such as the occurrence of swagger.
本発明は上記の事情に鑑みてなされたもので簡単な構成

The purpose is to

式は次のように与えられる。An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view, and numeral 1 indicates a vibrator made of lithium tantalate. This resonator is made by molding a plate into a rectangular shape with main surfaces cut along Y and Z planes perpendicular to the mutually orthogonal crystal axes of lithium tantalate and the x, y, and zOX axes, and is not shown on the plate surface. Electrodes are formed and a high frequency signal is applied thereto to excite the thickness vibration. The secular equation for the X-plate of lithium tantalate is given as follows.

振動によ多スプリアスを生じる。It is a stilanes that has been transformed into a styrene, and three Cs can be obtained from this screen. However, one of the solutions is not piezoelectrically excited, and the remaining two solutions are found to be piezoelectrically excitationable. Furthermore, these two solutions are a transverse wave vibration v1 with a high sound speed and a transverse wave vibration v2 with a slow sound speed. Generally, in the X-electrode of lithium tantalate, the fast transverse wave vibration v1 is used as the main vibration, but at the same time, the secondary vibration caused by the slow transverse wave vibration v2 causes a lot of spurious.

化した。Therefore, in a disc-shaped, square-shaped oscillator, etc., the main vibration v
1, the sub-vibration v2 is also excited to approximately the same level. Therefore, by forming the main surface into a rectangular shape elongated in the direction of the main vibration vl as shown in Fig. 1, the level of the sub-vibration V2 can be suppressed as shown in the frequency response characteristic diagram shown in Fig. 2, for example. Can be done. Here, for an X plate with a width of 22111, a thickness of approximately Q, 5 mrx, and a length of 5 vrx and a resonance frequency of 3.5 MHz, the main vibration ■l and the secondary vibration v2
The level difference between the two changes as shown in FIG. 3 with respect to the rotation angle θ when the long side of the main surface of the vibrator is rotated clockwise from the Y axis.

49° to 57°. Furthermore, the level difference]) 17 dB T If it rolls, the rotation angle θ = 5
The angle may be 3°±10', that is, 43° to 63°. Width 1 with the long side further rotated 50' clockwise from the Y axis
.. The relationship between the length t of the long side and the C1 value for the X plate with a thickness of approximately 0.7 mm is shown in FIG.
なお上記振動子の共振周波数は3.5 MHzのもので
ある。この結果から明らかなように長辺tの長さを幅の
2倍よシも長くすることによジC■値は低い一定の値に
なる。Note that the resonant frequency of the above vibrator is 3.5 MHz. As is clear from this result, by making the length of the long side t twice as long as the width, the C value becomes a constant low value.
さらに副振動を抑圧するためにX板の主面の長辺方向の
幅Wに対して該主面に形成する電極の長辺方向の幅Wを
変化させたところ特性を改善することができた。Furthermore, in order to suppress secondary vibrations, the characteristics were improved by changing the width W in the long side direction of the electrode formed on the main surface with respect to the width W in the long side direction of the main surface of the X plate. .

略53°回転した方向に定め、この方向に主振動vlを
励振するようにしている。The direction is set along two planes and rotated clockwise from the Y axis by θ degrees, that is, approximately 53 degrees, and the main vibration vl is excited in this direction.

5 MHzのものを用いた。Therefore, the C1 value for the main vibration v1 and the sub-vibration v2 was measured when the width W of the electrode formed at the center of the front and back plate surfaces over the entire length in the longitudinal direction was changed with respect to the width W of the main surface of the X plate. The measurement results are shown in Figure 6. The dimensions of this X-plate are 2m wide, 311cm thick, approximately 0.5vrtx thick, and 5mrn long. Electrodes of various widths are formed by vapor deposition, and the resonance frequency is 3.
5 MHz was used.

極の励振効率が低下するので下限は0.2とする。As is clear from this result, by setting the ratio w/W of the width W in the long side direction of the electrode to the width W in the long side direction of the main surface of the X plate to be 0.6 or less, the CI value for the main vibration v1 is However, the CI value for the sub-vibration v2 can be increased more than Yoshi, and the spurious can be suppressed. Note that if the ratio w/W of the width of the main surface and the electrode is made too small, the excitation efficiency of the electrode will decrease, so the lower limit is set to 0.2.

In particular, in the electrode shape shown in FIG. 8, a pair of lead terminals 6, 6 are implanted in the pace 5 as shown in FIG. There is an advantage that the parts 3 can be electrically connected and mechanically held by connecting them with a conductive adhesive or the like.

得ることができる。Therefore, in a rectangular vibrator in which the long side of the main surface of the X plate of lithium tantalate is rotated 43° to 63° clockwise from the Y axis, the width of the electrode in the longitudinal direction is By setting 0.2 to 0.6, secondary vibrations can be sufficiently suppressed, and a vibrator with small dimensions and a low CI value can be obtained.

It is possible to provide a lithium tantalate oscillator which has a small size and a low C7 value, and which greatly suppresses the streaky component caused by the oxidation.
