Dynamic Models for Quartz-Resonator Thermal Transient Response

Thermal transient behavior of quartz resonators has been the subject of various experimental and theoretical studies. In this paper, we present a combined theoretical-experimental approach to modeling thermal transient response of quartz resonators. The essential steps of this approach consists of first deriving a versatile model stmcture based on physical principles, and then fully specifying the model by identifying the model parameters using data collected from thermal transient experiments. Results of applying this modeling approach to a quartz resonator is also discussed.
