ResonatorsA resonator is an electronic component that is used to generate or maintain a specific frequency. Resonators are commonly used in radio frequency (RF) and microwave systems to provide a stable reference frequency for the circuit.
Resonators are typically made of a piezoelectric material, such as quartz, that vibrates at a specific frequency when an electric current is applied to it. The resonant frequency of the resonator can be controlled by changing the size and shape of the resonator, and by adjusting the applied voltage. Resonators are widely used in RF and microwave systems, such as oscillators, filters, and frequency synthesizers, to provide a stable and accurate reference frequency.
Resonators are an important component of many electronic systems, and they are widely used in a variety of applications, including radio and television broadcasting, satellite communications, and radar systems.
