Thickness of Crystal at Fundamental Frequency<br />

Fundamental resonance frequency<br />

Harmonic resonance frequency<br />

= V/f<br />

= N. V/f (N = integer)<br />

Piezoelectric crystal will has the greatest sensitivity when it is driven at its<br />

fundamental frequency, this occurs when the thickness of the crystal is at ½<br />

λ.<br />

If the thickness is given, the fundamental frequency could be calculated:
