By setting some reasonable limits, e.g., a limit of 30 hours allowed for the elapsed round-trip time, the expanded time uncertainty with a coverage factor of $mathrm{k}=2$ is estimated as 7.36 ns for the calibration. The procedure also allows us to complete a calibration trip between TL and one of the most laboratories in the western part of Taiwan with a car.","PeriodicalId":6872,"journal":{"name":"2020 Joint Conference of the IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium and International Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics (IFCS-ISAF)","volume":"21 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86288317","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}

This constitutes the first analytical and experimental evaluation of SAW loss mechanisms for orthogonal crystal symmetric Y-cut ±45° direction relative to Z-axis on both Lithium Niobate (LN) and Lithium Niobate on Insulator substrate (LNOI). This study demonstrates the ability to minimize the radiation, diffraction, beam steering and bulk scattering loss while exciting the SAW resonators with extremely thick tungsten electrodes (> 2% of acoustic wavelength), which are required to maximize the SAWG sensitivity. This investigation results in SAW devices exhibiting $Q_{total}$ approaching 15,000 and more than 14 × higher than conventional designs. This approach is the first step towards understanding and eliminating the sources of losses in SAWG, enabling the development of a new generation of high-performance MEMS SAW-based gyroscopes with high sensitivity and stability.","PeriodicalId":6872,"journal":{"name":"2020 Joint Conference of the IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium and International Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics (IFCS-ISAF)","volume":"32 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78100783","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}

Operating at ∼3 GHz, the as-fabricated FBAR exhibits a record high effective electromechanical coupling ($k_{t}{}^{2}$) of 18% with a mechanical quality factor ($Q_{m}$) of 328. The polarization of the FBAR can be switched from N-polar to Al-polar by using a triangular-wave signal with a peak voltage of −350 V, applied for 6 seconds at 1 kHz across a 900 nm-thick Al0.7Sc0.3N film. It is shown that the polarization switching of AlScN film not only changes the polarity of the piezoelectric coefficient (e33), but also changes the series resistance of the metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) stack and leads to an effective “switching” of the FBAR. The frequency response of the switchable FBAR is investigated after polarization switching during 4 cycles and at elevated temperatures up to 600 K.","PeriodicalId":6872,"journal":{"name":"2020 Joint Conference of the IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium and International Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics (IFCS-ISAF)","volume":"38 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80010598","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}
