| Abstract: | This article deals with a crystal quartz cut with virtually no amplitude-frequency effect (also called isochronism defect or anisochronism). The cut, called LD-cut (Low isochronism Defect), is set in a BVA-type structure for later use in an Ultra-Stable Oscillator (USO). Various design parameters are presented, along with the properties of the resonator. The resonance frequencies of various modes, the temperature dependence, the motional parameters and the phase noise in relation to the power supplied to the resonator are mainly studied. These properties are compared to those of the SC-cut resonators |
