1.2 Quartz Crystal Electrical Model

A quartz crystal is a piezoelectric device that transforms electric energy to mechanical energy. This transformation occurs at the resonant frequency. Figure 1-2 shows the simplified electric model that describes the quartz crystal, where C0 is the shunt capacitance, LM is motional inductance, CM is motional capacitance, and RM is motional resistance. The model in Figure 1-2 is a simplified model and includes only the fundamental oscillation frequency. In reality, crystals can also oscillate at odd harmonics of the fundamental frequency.
