Abstract
In their simplest form, bulk acoustic wave (BAW) devices consist of a piezoelectric crystal between two electrodes that transduce the material’s vibrations into electrical signals. They are adopted in frequency control and metrology, with well-established standards at frequencies of 5 MHz and above.

In their simplest form, bulk acoustic wave (BAW) devices consist of a piezoelectric crystal between two electrodes that transduce the material’s vibrations into electrical signals. They are adopted in frequency control and metrology, with well-established standards at frequencies of 5 MHz and above. Their use as a resonant-mass strain antenna for high-frequency gravitational waves has been recently proposed (Goryachev and Tobar, 2014). The estimated power spectral density sensitivity at the resonant frequencies is of the order of
