The invention is a method and apparatus for improving the aging, pressure sensitivity,
and acceleration sensitivity of crystal resonators. In one embodiment the invention
includes a coplanar two-dimensional compliant mounting structure, wherein the symmetry
and compliance of the planar mounting structure reduces the effects of residual
static stresses and dynamic vibratory stresses on the vibration sensitivity performance
of a crystal resonator. The structural elements include compliance loops that provide
relief from the effects associated with manufacturing, thermal and vibration stresses.
