A ceramic resonator is similar in function to a quartz crystal but using a piezoelectric ceramic such as lead zirconium titanate instead of quartz. They are used as a cheaper alternative to a quartz crystal where the precise frequency is not so critical, and also as the tuning filter in the IF stages of some radios.
