TO DETERMINE COUPLING COEFFICIENT OF PIEZOELECTRIC CRYSTAL
EQUIPMENT USED:
(1) Piezo electric crystal -3 No
(2) Resistance selector
(3) Capacitance selector
(4) Inductance selector
(5) AC voltmeter and ammeter
(6) Frequency generator: 1-65 KHz

THEORY: A quartz crystal exhibits the property that when mechanical stress is
applied across the faces of the crystal, a difference of potential develops across
opposite phases of the crystal. This property of the crystal is called piezoelectric
effect. Similarly, if a voltage is applied across one set of faces of the crystal,
causes mechanical distortion in the crystal shape.
When alternating voltage is applied to the crystal, mechanical vibration are setup.
These vibrations having a natural resonant frequency dependent of the crystal.
Although crystal has electro-mechanical resonance, we can represent the crystal
action by an equivalent electrical resonant circuit as shown in Fig-1

Fig. 1

The inductor L and capacitor C are electrical equivalents of the crystal mass and
compliance
. While resistance R is an electrical equivalent of the crystal structure is internal
friction SERIES AND PARALLEL RESONANCE: Crystal as represented by the
equivalent electrical circuit can have two resonant frequencies
 One resonant condition occurs when the reactance of the series RLC leg are
equal (and opposite). For this the series resonant impedance is very low
(equal to R)
 The other resonant condition occurs at a higher frequency when the
reactance of the series resonant leg equal the reactive of the capacitor
Cm. This is parallel or anti resonance condition of the crystal. At this
frequency the crystal offers very high impedance to the external source.
The graph be(I) or Impedance (Z) as shown in Fig-2.

CALCULATIONS: Plot the graph between frequency and Impedance (Z) or


Current (I) Value of coupling coefficient Kc = f2-f1/f1
The calculated resonance frequency f1 = 14.6 KHz, f2 = 23 kHz
Thus the piezoelectric coefficient Kc= 0.5753
