A "ceramic resonator" is a resonator fabricated from a piezoelectric ceramic material, of which there are several. These materials are not naturally piezoelectric: the property is induced in them during manufacture. Some of the materials used for this purpose are quite remarkable and represent major engineering accomplishments. To our knowlege, however, none of these devices can compete with quartz in terms of frequency stability, particularly over a range of temperatures, nor can their operating frequencies be held to any real accuracy. These types of resonators exhibit "Q" values much lower than those manufactured from quartz. These devices, we believe, tend to age far more than do quartz crystals. Still, if a very low-cost, loosely specified device is suitable for an application, piezoelectric ceramics have much to commend them.
