Abstract
A Li2B4O7 membrane resonator has been developed to operate in the fundamental thickness shear mode in the VHF range. 51° rot Y cut Li2B4O7 was used for the substrate. The membrane was fabricated by conventional wet etching technology. This resonator has a center frequency of 72.5 MHz, Q factor of 1330 and capacitance ratio about 67. The temperature characteristics of the resonance frequency shows a parabola and the second order temperature coefficient is -0.26 ppm/°C2. Using this resonator in a VCO circuit, low noise oscillation with a variable frequency range of 0.2% and C/N of 80 dB was obtained
