4 Testing Principle

Temperature stability refers to the property of piezoelectric ceramics as a function of temperature. Frequency temperature stability refers to the property of frequency as a function of temperature.

It can be described using two methods. frequency temperature coefficient or maximum relative frequency drift.

At a given temperature, the ratio of the change in frequency value to the actual value of that frequency at a temperature change of 1°C is called the frequency temperature coefficient.

(Tf), can be expressed by formula (1). Tf= -df dtheta (1) In the formula.

Tf --- Temperature coefficient of frequency, measured in degrees Celsius (°C-1);

f --- Frequency at a certain temperature, measured in Hertz (Hz); df dtheta

— The rate of change of frequency with temperature, expressed in Hertz per degree Celsius (Hz/°C).

The frequency of a piezoelectric ceramic oscillator changes non-linearly with temperature, and its temperature coefficient is a function of temperature.

In addition, the maximum relative frequency drift is usually used to characterize the frequency-temperature stability of piezoelectric ceramic oscillators, which can be expressed by formulas (2) and (3). express. (deltaf)p= |f(thetap)mf(25°C)| f(25°C) (2) (deltaf)N= |f(thetaN)mf(25°C)| f(25°C) (3) In the formula.

(deltaf)p --- Maximum relative frequency drift at positive temperature;

(deltaf)N --- Maximum relative frequency drift at negative temperatures;

f(thetap)m --- The maximum frequency that deviates from room temperature by 25°C within a positive temperature range (e.g., 25°C to 85°C), expressed in Hertz. (Hz);

f(thetaN)m --- The maximum frequency deviation from room temperature (25°C) within the negative temperature range (e.g., -65°C to 25°C), expressed in Hertz. Hz;

f(25°C) --- Frequency value at room temperature of 25°C, in Hertz (Hz).

Measure the sample's maximum admittance frequency (fm), minimum admittance frequency (fn), or resonant frequency (fr), and anti-resonant frequency (fa) (in the first order near-terminal range).

Like fmT=fm=fr=fs,fnT=fn=fa=fp).

By placing the sample in a positive and negative temperature environment test device and measuring the corresponding frequencies at different temperature points within a specified temperature range, the frequency can be obtained.

The relationship curve between frequency and temperature is obtained, thereby determining the frequency temperature coefficient or the maximum relative frequency drift.

5 Testing Equipment

5.2 Positive and Negative Temperature Environment Test Chamber. Capable of providing uniform and continuously adjustable positive and negative temperatures within the required temperature range (e.g., -65°C to 85°C).

Temperature environment, temperature control deviation not greater than ±2°C.

5.3 Sample Box. The sample box should be made of a material with good thermal conductivity. The clamping force of the internal support clamp should be small, just enough to hold the sample, and ensure that the clamping force is sufficient.

The fixture should make good contact with the sample electrode. The diameter of the contact surface between the fixture and the sample should be 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm, and it should be clamped at the sample node. Sample The box should be covered, and the relative humidity inside the box should be less than 75%.

8.2 Test of room temperature frequency

Place the sample into the sample box (5.3), seal the lid, and place it in a positive and negative temperature environment test chamber. Adjust the frequency of the bridge (5.1) to make the sample...

The impedance is at its minimum, and the frequency at this point is the maximum admittance frequency (fm). Then, adjust the frequency of the bridge (5.1) to make the sample phase zero; at this point, the frequency is the resonance frequency.

Frequency (fr). Increase the frequency of the bridge (5.1) further to maximize the sample impedance; at this point, the frequency is the minimum admittance frequency (fn). Adjust the bridge (5.1) again.

The frequency makes the phase of the sample zero, and at this time the frequency is the anti-resonant frequency (fa).

8.3 Testing of Positive and Negative Temperature Frequencies

Except for measuring the frequency at each temperature point as per section 8.2, the remaining test procedures shall be performed as follows: Adjust the positive and negative values according to the required test temperature.

The temperature of the environmental test chamber (5.2) shall not exceed a heating/cooling rate of 3°C/min. The selected temperature point shall be maintained for a certain period of time (generally...).

(1h). Then repeat step 8.2 to measure the series resonant frequency (fs) and parallel resonant frequency (fp) at that temperature point. Repeat step 1 point over the entire temperature range.

Conduct the test (record the readings taken at 10 seconds at this temperature when the frequency change is less than 1%, and the temperature points taken should be no less than...).

(10), thus obtaining the frequency-temperature characteristic curve.

The recommended temperature control method is as follows: Drop directly from room temperature to the lowest sub-zero point, and then test at each point according to the required temperature, starting from that point.

to the highest point of positive temperature.

9 Calculation of parameter performance

9.1 Calculation of the frequency temperature coefficient

Based on the measured frequency-temperature characteristic curves of the series resonant frequency (fs) and the parallel resonant frequency (fp), the frequency of any temperature can be calculated according to formula (1).

The frequency temperature coefficient (Tf).

When the frequency and temperature can be approximated as linear within a certain temperature range, the frequency temperature coefficient at any temperature (theta1) is calculated according to formula (4) or...

Equation (5) is used for calculation. Equation (4) corresponds to the series resonant frequency, and Equation (5) corresponds to the parallel resonant frequency. Tfs= fs(theta2)-fs(theta1) fs(theta1)(theta2-theta1) (4) Tfp= fp(theta2)-fp(theta1) fp(theta1)(theta2-theta1) (5) In the formula.

Tfs --- Temperature coefficient of series resonant frequency, %;
