Part of the book series: Engineering Materials and Processes ((EMP))

Abstract

This chapter starts with brief discussions about needs in tuneable resonators focusing on advanced agile microwave communication systems. To assist in reading of the following chapters, vibrational modes in FBARs are reviewed. The concept of electrostriction-mediated induced piezoelectric effect in paraelectrics, used in intrinsically tuneable ferroelectric FBARs, is discussed. A summary of the state-of-the-art in intrinsically tuneable FBARs concludes the chapter.
