The object of this study is to actualize the power inverter, to which a novel multilayered piezoelectric ceramic transformer operating in the third order longitudinal mode is applied. The piezoelectric transformer has a symmetrical structure in the lengthwise direction and its output part operates in a piezoelectric stiffened mode in order to increase both energy conversion efficiency and power density. This transformer has a great advantage, in that all the electronic terminals can be connected at the vibration nodes of the transformer, which contributes to the guarantee of stable transformer performances at high power operation. In this power inverter, a separately excited oscillation circuit was adopted to drive the transformer with high efficiency, and the transformer drive frequency was controlled by detecting the backlight current in order to adjust the backlight luminance properly. Using a triple-layered piezoelectric transformer, a fabricated power inverter exhibited the overall efficiency of 92%, the output power of 4.5 W, which is enough power to light up a 9.4 inches color LCD, including the stray capacitance loss resulted from CCFL mounting. The luminance value on a light transmission plate of the color LCD was 2500 cd/m2 while the inverter dimensions are as small as 76×22×6 mm","PeriodicalId":394363,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings of IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133732040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because of the fundamental similarity of two-pole TCF's to bulk wave monolithic two-pole crystal filters (MCF's), the equivalent circuit of a MCF can be used for describing the TCF. The circuit parameters can be determined from the measurement of the complex impedance at the symmetric and the antisymmetric frequency of the SAW device.

The most important facts observed are the increase of the coupling coefficient from quartz, to berlinite, langasite and gallium phosphate and the outstanding thermal stabilities of the AT cuts of berlinite and of gallium phosphate. New determinations of the angular positions of the compensated cuts of gallium phosphate and doped langasite are reported. In the second part, the comparison is refined in considering the energy trapping properties of resonators using these materials. Computed and experimental results concerning the trapped modes of plane resonators are compared. They indicate that oscillators and filters having more than 4 times the shifts or the bandwidths achievable with quartz can be obtained using the new materials. Extremely high Q factors and the ability to withstand large excitation levels were observed for langasite plano-convex resonators.

Using conventional SAW technology, the narrow bandwidth requirement leads to designs which are too long to satisfy the size requirement. We report here a new filter architecture giving substantial length reduction for a given bandwidth. Unidirectional SPUDT transducers are used to obtain low conversion loss and low SAW reflections when matched. The device uses a multi-track arrangement in which phase changes ate introduced such that the first-transit signals are cancelled while the triple-transit signals are reinforced. Consequently, the device response involves two reflections of the waves by the SPUDT's, giving reduced bandwidth and also-suppressing the stop-band sidelobes. Results are shown for an experimental 71 MHz filter on 37° Y-cut quartz, with a 3 dB bandwidth of 380 kHz. A 40 dB sidelobe rejection was obtained without the need for weighting.

However for SAW propagation, only theoretical computations predict the existence of temperature-compensated cuts analogous to the (ST,X) cut of quartz.
