Abstract
In a pressure transducer of the piezoelectric type, a resonator (10) is made up of a pellet (16) mounted inside an element designed to be subjected to the action of a pressure on its exterior face (18). The pellet (16) and the element (12) are cut in the same quartz block, using a cut which provides two vibration modes. The forces resulting from the external pressure are transmitted to the edge of the pellet (16) by connecting bridges (22, 23) whose orientation is chosen so that one of the vibration modes has maximum sensitivity to the forces while the other mode has a practically zero sensitivity.
