Abstract
Abstract A piezoelectric monolithic crystal filter having shunt trimming capacitors incorporated into the design of the filter as electrode strips at the edges of the crystal element. This eliminates the need to use discrete low value shunt trimming capacitors which generally are of a few pico-farad capacitance and are expensive and introduce objectionable lead inductance which is non-linear with frequency. A means is provided for producing filters which are less expensive and improve performance over conventional filters, particularly at higher frequencies.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
A piezoelectric crystal unit comprising a piezoelectric crystal element having on opposite faces thereof an electrode pattern with at least one of said patterns being extended to the other face of the element where a portion of said extension is in juxtaposition with an extended portion of the other of said patterns with a dielectric layer between the two portions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
60 words
A piezoelectric crystal unit comprising a piezoelectric crystal element having on opposite faces thereof an electrode pattern with at least one of said patterns being extended to the other face of the element where a portion of said extension is in juxtaposition with an extended portion of the other of said patterns with a dielectric layer between the two portions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A piezoelectric crystal unit as described in claim 1 wherein at least one of said electrode patterns is extended to form a part of an additional circuit component.
