n Modes of vibration in crystal
The crystal cuts as shown in Figure 1 vibrate in various modes; the most important modes are the flexure and thickness-shear. The mode of vibration determines the maximum frequency, frequency vs. temperature stability, and resistance of crystal units. The various modes of vibration are shown in Figure 2, and the various frequencies vs. temperature stability are shown in Figure 3.

Of the various crystal cuts, the "AT" cut has become the most popular that is available at higher frequencies than the others, it shows excellent frequency vs. temperature stability due to the cubic curves. The other cuts show the parabolic curves in frequency vs. temperature stability.

n Crystal cuts
Crystal unit works for controlling the oscillation frequency of oscillator circuit by conversion of mechanical vibrations to electrical current at a specific frequency. This is called the "Piezoelectric" effect. In some materials, which the piezoelectric effect is found, crystal is suited for the manufacture of frequency control devices. Various crystal cuts for crystal units have been found as shown in Figure 1 over the years. Figure 1 shows the location of crystal cuts developed in synthetic quartz stone. Figure 1

Fundamental and Overtone
AT cut crystal unit resonates at odd integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. (1,3,5, etc.) For example, with a fundamental crystal of 20MHz, the crystal unit has resonance frequencies at 20, 60, and 100MHz. As the frequency of crystal unit is higher, the thickness of internal crystal blank is thinner. To calculate the thickness of crystal blank, use the calculation formula in Figure 2. For example, 1. Fundamental crystal unit: 20MHz, the thickness of crystal blank is: 1670/t=20000(kHz), t=0.0835mm 2. Fundamental crystal unit: 30MHz, the thickness of crystal blank is: 1670/t=30000(kHz), t=0.0557mm Also, the AT-49 as an example, the fundamental crystal unit is acceptable up to 35MHz and the 3rd overtone crystal unit is used for higher frequencies than 35MHz, because the crystal blank becomes too thin for mechanical polishing. A resonance characteristic for a crystal unit of 20MHz in fundamental is shown in Figure 6. Figure 6
