Abstract

Abstract An improved resonator is obtained by providing a plate of lithium tetraboe with a doubly rotated orientation of φ≅38° to 42° and θ≅30° to 36° where doubly rotated orientations are described by the IEEE notation widely known in the art as (YXwl)φ/θ.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 67 words
In a resonator including a lapped and polished plate of lithium tetraborate with metallic electrodes deposited on the major surfaces of the plate and the plate mounted in an evacuated sealed enclosure, the improvement of providing the plate with a doubly rotated orientation of φ≅38+ to 42° and θ≅30° to 36° where doubly rotated orientations are described by the IEEE notation widely known in the art as(YXw1)φ/θ.
