In this type of application the crystal is used to produce very stable oscillations at a precise frequency or as a highly selective bandpass filter. In effect, the electrical excitation causes the crystal to vibrate mechanically at its resonant frequency, and that vibration produces a resultant electrical signal at the same frequency. 3, record 1, English, - piezoelectric%20crystal
