Anti-resonance frequency Resonance frequency Resonance frequency Impedance (Ω) Frequency (MHz) Fig. 6: The graphs Impedance vs. Frequency of our device OUR DEVICE’S IMPEDANCES Impedance vs. Frequency Anti-resonance frequency Data is collected by our experiments
THE QUALITY FACTOR • QM: The quality factor • fa: The anti-resonance frequency (MHz) • fr: The resonance frequency (MHz) • Zr: The impedance at resonance frequency (Ω) • C: The static capacitance (pF) http://www.morganelectroceramics.com/tutorials/piezoguide15.html
TABLE OF VALUES OF OUR DEVICES Data is collected by our experiments
THE QUALITY FACTORS (QM) OF OUR DEVICES The average is 7.3585 Calculation is based on our data obtained from experiments
COMPARISION OF OUR DEVICE WHEN TREATED WITH AND WITHOUTWATER Impedance vs. Frequency Without Water With Water Impedance (Ω) Frequency (MHz) Fig. 8: Comparison of our device when treated with and without water The graph is based on our data collected form experiments
DATA ANALYSIS The frequency shift is related to the weight of water. The quality factor is related to the viscosity of water.
