Ceramic Resonators

A ceramic resonator is a type of resonator that uses a ceramic material as the resonating element. A resonator is a type of circuit element that uses the natural resonance frequency of a material to generate an electrical signal with a very stable frequency. In a ceramic resonator, the ceramic material is shaped into a specific geometry, such as a cylinder or a disk, which is then excited by an electrical signal to produce a resonant frequency. Ceramic resonators are commonly used in a variety of applications that require a stable frequency reference, such as in clocks, oscillators, and filters. They are preferred over other types of resonators, such as crystal resonators, because they are less expensive and more rugged, making them well-suited for use in portable electronic devices. Additionally, ceramic resonators are available in a wide range of frequencies and can operate over a wide temperature range, making them versatile and adaptable for different applications.
