By analysing the resonance frequency spectrum of a composite resonator cons
isting of a piezoelectric ceramic film deposited on a substrate plate, the
thickness extensional mode electromechanical coupling coefficient of the fi
lm, k(t)(2), can be directly calculated from the effective coupling factor
values, k(eff)(2), for two special modes of the resonator. The effects of t
he mechanical loss in the piezoelectric films on the measurement are invest
igated by numerical simulation, and some guidelines for improving the accur
acy of the k(t)(2) measurement are reported.
