Piezoresonators are often characterised by equivalent circuits. Loss then usually appears as an ad hoc addition to the circuit. Future stability and manufacturing reproducibility requirements dictate a more detailed understanding of the types of loss mechanisms and their disposition in equivalent networks. The effects of a lossy piezoelectric coupling coefficient, k*, on the complex resonance frequencies of a plate resonator driven in a simple thickness mode are explored.
