These are like 35 cents at 1K.

Of course a crystal oscillator is a BAW device too. ;)

I wonder if it's all silicon, a sort of bulk MEMS thing. The price is
absurd. I guess every one has to be trimmed to frequency.

Phil's pretty good in that regard. There are some people who see
everything in terms of equations and use higher mathematics to explain
their function. A xtal oscillator would provide a very simple example
for such persons to exhibit this (most unfortunate) character trait.

Phil is one of those people who can see equations in motion. I can't.
I operate on instinct and simulation.

His book is good to have if you design electro-optics or low-level

Be cautioned that there are equations.

Equations are fine (unavoidable anyway) in this science. But it's not
helpful in the first instance to gain an intuitive idea of how
something works - unless you're one of the people I mentioned above.
This is my main issue with Tom Lee's otherwise superb book, 'Planar
Microwave Engineering' where he typically launches into higher
mathematics almost from the get-go.

I have that book. It's mostly useless. One equation will be a full
page of fine print, and then the next page turns out to be one term of
that equation.
