Title: Michael E Roberts: Innovator in Resonator Technology
Introduction
Michael E Roberts is a notable inventor based in Lynchburg, VA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of resonator technology, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on methods for measuring frequencies and inductances in coupled-dual resonators, which are crucial for various applications in electronics.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method for measuring selected frequencies of a coupled-dual resonator." This invention discloses a method for obtaining frequency parameters to determine the resonator frequencies, the synchronous peak separation frequency, and the normal center frequency of a coupled-dual resonator crystal. The method involves applying a plurality of frequencies to a first electrode while monitoring the phase response of the resonator circuit. The frequencies at which the time delay relative maxima occur are determined, which correspond to critical inflection points in the phase response.
Another significant patent by Roberts is "Method for measuring the inductance of each resonator of a coupled-dual." This invention also involves applying a plurality of frequencies to a first electrode and monitoring the phase response. The process is repeated with the crystal turned around in the test fixture to obtain a second set of frequencies, which are then used to calculate the resonator inductances of the crystal.
