Hi, There is nothing like a fixed ratio between R1 at 3rd or 5th overtone the R1 at fundamental mode. The best approach through C1 and Q. C1 reduces with the square of overtone N (for an infinite crystal plate). In reality C1(3rds about 85% of C1(fund/N^2. For the 5th and higher OT it is about

Hi You “shape” the blank to trap energy on some crystals. Also the energy distribution on the blank changes with overtone. You can change the electrodes to get more of “what you want” and less of “what does not matter”. Plating thickness also gets optimized based on overtone. There are a long

Hi Bob thanks for the insight. OK so the Rm for an overtone crystal , measured at the fundamental might be a bad indicator of the overtone Rm.  I have found empirically, a loose relationship of Rm proportional to overtone number   from the fundamental. But loose- I mean +/- 50% which, as you

Hi Bottom line - if you are designing a filter, you need the real values for the Cm, Lm and C0. Guessing at them is likely to lead to trouble if it is a reasonably complex filter. Rm generally goes as the overtone. It can deviate quite a bit from that (as can the other parameters) depending

I wonder if anyone can shed any light on this question, since this forum is loaded with those who REALLY understand crystals. I am modeling crystal filters (VHF)  in SPICE. There are some specific acoustic mode models for SPICE in some Post Doctorial papers, very interesting, they would be
