Abstract

This paper presents detailed theoretical investigation of three fundamental acoustic wave modes propagating in thin plates of single crystal potassium niobate. The wave velocity and Δv/ v, the fractional velocity change produced by electrical shorting of the surface, are calculated for all propagation directions on the surfaces of X-, Y-, and Z-cut plates. It is found that acoustic plate waves can provide extremely large values of electromechanical coupling coefficient. This property makes these waves very attractive for use in a variety of sensor and signal processing applications.
