  • Abstract
    In this paper, the energy trapping problem in AT-cut quartz mesa structures is studied. Results show that the mesa structure is able to trap thickness-shear vibration energy within a much smaller area compared with a conventional electroded plate. The optimum sizes of these mesa structures are obtained through this study.
