It is important that piezoelectric crystals used in wave-filters should be free from unwanted responses in a sufficiently wide frequency range. This article discusses how this condition can be fulfilled by circular bevelled plates vibrating in high frequency thickness modes. It also describes a special gap holder used for such plates and designed for use in oscillators with high frequency stability.
