ABSTRACT
This study presents an analysis of equivalent circuit namely Butterworth Van Dyke (BVD) [1,2] by using impedance
method to stimulate Zirconate Titanate (Piezoelectric ceramic) which is initially synthesized from Lead Oxide (PbO),
Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2) and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and vibrated in thickness mode. The reactance was estimated
in the frequency range lower than the resonance frequency and then compared to the impedance obtained from meas-
urement using impedance analysis machine model HP4192A and HP4194 [3]. The results from HP4194 were analyzed
for BVD parameters: Motional resistance (R1), Inductor (L1), Capacitor (C1), and Capacitor corresponds to the electro-
static capacitance (Co). Another accuracy analysis was compared by the calculation results using the method of IEEE
176-1987 [4] to the impedance values measured by HP4192A. In this study, there were two conditions for experiment
and consideration of parameter variation in BVD equivalent circuit: variation of temperature and mechanical force.
These parameters are evaluated to design the efficient circuit for PZT utilization to obtain the optimal efficiency.

1. Introduction
Electronic circuit using BVD analysis for effectively
stimulating PZT can be designed by adopting, for exam-
ple, IEEE Standard [4,5], Smits [6], Sherrit [7], and Xu
[8]. Smith’s method and Sherrit’s method would con-
sider those parameters as complex numbers. Xu’s method
would be similar to Smith’s method which considers the
impedance of piezoelectric measured at the frequency
values ranging from resonance frequency (fr) and anti-
resonance frequency (fa) as well as under mechanical
force i.e. elastic, piezoelectric constant and coupling co-
efficient. In this study, five pieces of PZT, namely O01,
N01, N02, N03, and N04, were synthesized from ratio of
PbO:ZrO2:TiO2 (100:52:48) and burned at 700˚C for 1
hour [9,10] in order to experiment the density (ρ), PZT
constant (d33), dielectric constant (K) at 1 kHz, electro-
mechanical coupling coefficient (kt) and mechanical qual-
ity factor (Qm). In addition, the PZT were utilized in an
ultrasonic cleaner.
2. Theory and Fundamental Method
2.1. Equivalent Circuit of BVD
Electrical characteristics in thickness mode of PZT [3]
tested in this study were comparable to the BVD equiva-
lent circuit, which consists of R1 connected serially to C1
and L1 then all parallelly connected to Co [1,2,11] as
shown in Figure 1(a). The resistance, the capacitance,
and the inductance were comparable to the force friction
(η), spring constant (k), and mass, respectively as shown
in Figure 1(b).
Assuming R1, C1, L1, and Co were constants and inde-
pendent on frequency and impedance [5] as given in
Equation (1), the impedance equation at PZT resonance
frequency (Zr), fr and fa, in terms of BVD relating pa-
rameters was obtained. In Figure 2, the impedance re-
sponding to fr and fa of PZT is shown.

2.2. Measurement of Dielectric Constant (K)
Measurement of K or relative permittivity (εr) of PZT is
to test for the electrical characteristics which can be cal-
culated by using Equation (7), where Cf is the capaci-
tance at 1 kHz, t is the thickness of PZT measured from
both metal poles, A is the area of metal pole, and εo is the
dielectric constant of vacuum. The dielectric constant
can be varied depending on the temperature (T) of sub-
stance based on Curie-Weiss Law [12] where Tc is the
temperature of PZT with zero polarization, and C is Cu-
rie constant (103

emit the electric charge of PZT when it is stimulated by
mechanical force. Number 33 represents the three per-
pendicular directions of compression force on PZT.

shown in Figure 4. The HP Vee program is applied to
control the impedance analyzer model HP4192A via
HP-IB interface and collect the impedance at 100 Hz to
1.3 MHz [4]. Then, the resonance frequency and the im-
pedance at resonance frequency and lower resonance
frequency will be applied to calculate R, L, and Co. The
calculated value will be evaluated and compared with the
value calculated by using Equation (1). In this paper,
only the fundamental resonance is considered regardless
the resonance frequency at harmonic period.
From experiment and measurement of PZT impedance,
the calculated parameters from BVD model are as shown
in Table 1. Figures 5 and 6 are illustrated the compari-
son of size (|Z|m) and phase of the impedance at 100 Hz
to 100 kHz measured by impedance analyzer model
HP4192A and the calculated impedance (|Z|cal and
Phase Cal). The impedance at 1 kHz is selected to calcu-
late in Equation (6). To obtain the appropriate value of C,
the impedance at lower resonance frequency is suggested
such as 100 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 3 kHz, 6 kHz, and 14 kHz.
The BVD parameters are as shown in Table 2 and the
percentage of error is shown in Figure 7.
4. Experiment of PZT under Temperature
Control
Physical characteristics of PZT were experimented by
considering ρ, PZT constant (d33), kt, and Qm of electrical
charge at 1 kHz. In this study, only the results from N01
and N04 (details are given in Table 3) were compared
under room and controlled temperatures. Figure 8 shows

from 2 kHz to 80 kHz. Uncertainty of measurement and
PZT was estimated by repeating 3 times of measurement.
4.1. Experimental Results under Temperature
Conditions
The impedance of PZT in temperature controlled cham-
ber (only N01) under specific temperature was similar to
that under room temperature. However, it was observed
that fr and fa were drifted. At 230˚C, fr increased about
≈1.6 kHz while fa decreased about ≈1 kHz. Therefore, the
difference between fr and fa decreased about 2.6 kHz as
shown in Figure 12. Moreover, when the temperature
was increasing, the impedance at fr was also increasing
up until 190˚C and then starting to decrease as illustrated
in Figure 13.
4.2. Analysis of Impedance Variation in the
Range of 100 Hz to 10 kHz
Experiment of PZT in the range of 100 Hz to 10 kHz was
to calculate the impedance of BVD circuit by repeatedly
measuring 30 times. An average and standard deviation
of impedance are given in Figures 14 and 15, respec-
tively. It can be noted that the standard deviation would
increase at low frequency range and decrease as the fre-
quency is rising.
4.3. Calculation of BVD Circuit Using
Impedance Method
To calculate BVD circuit, average experimental values
of fr, fa, and Zr at selected frequency ranging from 0.1
kHz to 10 kHz were used and then BVD parameters were
obtained. The results were ranged as follows: L1 ≈ 0.16
mH to 0.2 mH, C1 ≈ 0.018 nF to 0.040 nF, Co ≈ 0.06 nF
to 0.18 nF. However, R1 was uniform due to the identical
impedance at fr as shown in Table 4.

When PZT was placed in the temperature controlling
chamber at 23˚C, C1 would be decrease by 72% or
0.726%/˚C that leads to 255% of increase in L1. There-
fore, the temperature would directly influence the char-

5.1. Experiment of PZT at fracteristics of PZT as provided in Table 5.
Standard weights (0.5 lbs, 1.0 lbs, and 1.5 lbs) were
pressed to estimate fr, fa, and Zr as shown in Table 7
compared to weightless condition. The comparison was
shown in Table 8. It can be noted that PZT pressed by
1.5 lbs standard weight would express higher fr and fa by
≈0.24 kHz and 2 kHz, respectively. However, Zr would
be varied by the weight pressing and become stable at
≈6.5 Ω.
5. Experiment of PZT under
Mechanical Force
The parameters which was use in consideration of phy-
sical and electrical characteristics of PZT consists of ρ,
d33, kt, and Qm at 1 kHz. In this case, comparison of N02
and N03 is as shown in Table 6.
Measurement of Zr under mechanical force was per-
formed by using 0.5 lbs, 1.0 lbs, and 1.5 lbs of brass
standard weights at room temperature. Each measure-
ment was varied the frequency starting from 2 kHz to 80
kHz and repeated 30 times for calculating an average
value. Figures 16(a) and (b) illustrate the experimental
system and the brass standard weights, respectively.

From calculation, it was observed that |Z| and Z(θ) of the
impedance ranging from low frequency to fr and fa
tended to be equal to the impedance measured by im-
pedance analysis model HP4192A. Selecting low fre-
quency range (100 Hz, 1 kHz, and 2 kHz) for calculating
C would cause the error of |Z| by ≈−1%, On the other
hand, selecting the impedance and frequency at 3 kHz
the error would be exhibit less than 1%. However, the
impedance and frequency at 14 kHz would exhibit the
greater error by ≈5% because ωL can much influence the
impedance while 1/ωL decreases. Therefore, the im-
pedance selected for calculating should have the fre-
quency lower than a r
2 2
f f f− . Considering the per-
centage of impedance error, it can noted that the imped-
ance at the frequency of 100 Hz, 1 kHz, and 2 kHz
would provide the similar results with 20% - 25% of the
maximum error of fa. From experiment of the calculated
impedance, the accuracy of fr and fa was ±0.0033 kHz
with the standard deviation of 0.00129 kHz which would
be reliable for calculating BVD circuit. From experiment
of accuracy which was compared between Zr of BVD
equivalent circuit and Zr from measurement, it can be
noted that Zr at fr of BVD circuit calculated by imped-
ance method and IEEE 176-1987 would exhibit the error
by ≈2.37% which was lower than HP4194 method (≈4%).
It would be because the impedance analysis using im-
pedance analysis model HP4192A is applied the pro-
gram to estimate fr more accurately. However, R1 was
less different as it was a specific resistance at resonance
frequency. Considering the influence of temperature on
PZT characteristic, it was noted that the increase of tem-
perature would contribute to less difference of fr and fa.
Co ≈ 0.06 nF, C1 ≈ 0.018 nF, L1 ≈ 0.184 mH to 0.190 mH
while R1 was identical due to the same impedance at fr as
given in Table 10. The Table 11 shows the comparison
of BVD parameters calculated by using impedance me-
thod, IEEE method, and HP4194 where IEEE method is
the method of IEEE 176-1987, Δ1 is the percentage of
difference between values obtained from impedance and
IEEE 176-1987 method, and Δ2 is the percentage of dif-

However, the increase of Zr would cause the variation of
BVD calculated parameters such as decrease of C1, in-
crease of R1, L1, and Co. On the other hand, the influ-
ences of mechanical force load on PZT parameters would
cause fr, fa, and Zr increase that also contribute to R1 and
C1 increase while L1 and Co decrease.
