This lecture covers the general principles of resonant sensors, focusing on piezoelectric resonators. Topics include mechanical oscillators, equivalent models of mechanical and piezoelectric resonators, impedance analysis, and applications in temperature sensing and mass measurement. The instructor explains the concept of quality factor, frequency response of piezoelectric oscillators, and the Sauerbrey equation for mass resolution.
