Abstract

We attach a piezoelectric actuator to a surface acoustic wave resonator under normal acceleration to reduce its acceleration sensitivity. It is shown theoretically that under a given acceleration, the acceleration induced frequency shift in the resonator can be reduced or even completely eliminated when a proper electric field is applied to the piezoelectric actuator.
