Analysis of the Face-Mounted PZT Piezoelectric Transformer

적층형 PZT 압전변합기의 특성해석

An ideal and an approximate eauivalent circuits of a face-mounted PZT piezoelectric transformer were introduced from the equivalent circuit taking into account the mechanical loss of a PZT piezoelectric disk vibrator. And several expressions for the resonant frequencies and for the voltage ratios were derived from the approximate circuit of the transformer. From the experiments on the vltage ratios regarding the frequency variation without load and on the load variation at resonant frequency, it was found that the voltage ratio increased with the increase of load resistance and decreased sharply with the slight deviation from the resonant frequency, and that no-load voltage ratio at the resonant frequency was proportional to the product of the mechanical quality factor and the square of the electromechanical coupling factor of the vibrator.
