* The losses in electrodes and dielectric material are taken into account.

Therefore, all the input power is to be consumed in the resonator.

 

Model

Electrodes are set on the top and bottom faces of the dielectric disc.

The temperature and the displacement are fixed at the bottom electrode.

Results

The vectors of the electric fields resulting from the electromagnetic analysis [Hertz] are shown below.

 

Mode 0:

 

Mode 1:

The electric field in the center is peaked and bottomed in Modes 0 and 1 respectively.

 

The next figures show the results of thermal analysis [Watt].

 

Mode 0:

 

Mode 1:

The temperature rise is high at the area where the electric field is concentrating.

It is dependent on the distribution of the electromagnetic field.

 

The next figure shows the vectors of displacement as a result of Galileo following Watt.

 

Mode 0:

 

Mode 1:

The deformation is dependent on the distribution of the electromagnetic field.
