Abstract
Abstract A metal disc is deposited on a quartz substrate to reduce the effective linear thermal coefficient of expansion of the disc, and air is contained between the quartz substrate and a ground plane to reduce the effective dielectric constant thermal coefficient to make an electromagnetic resonator which is stable in frequency with temperature.
