Abstract

Quartz cuts are provided which exhibit temperature characteristics which are favorable for making differential SAW temperature sensors. Families of Y cuts rotated between 0° and 60° degrees in combination with placement of two resonators at specified angles to each other are disclosed. Further, preferred embodiments in which the resonators are placed on opposite sides of a zero TCF line are disclosed, to provide wide temperature differences while efficiently utilizing the available bandwidth. The design permits placement of the resonator at angles smaller than 12.5° and even less than 5° therebetween, most preferably on quartz rotated Y cut between 28.5° and 42.75°.
