Field Tests of a Portable MEMS Gravimeter
Gravimeters are used to measure density anomalies under the ground. They are applied in many different fields from volcanology to oil and gas exploration, but present commercial systems are costly and massive. A new type of gravity sensor has been developed that utilises the same fabrication methods as those used to make mobile phone accelerometers. In this study, we describe the first results ...
متن کاملModeling of capacitance and sensitivity of a MEMS pressure sensor
In this paper modeling of capacitance and sensitivity for MEMS capacitive pressure sensor is presented. In capacitive sensor the sensitivity is proportional to deflection and capacitance changes versus pressure. Therefore first the diaphragm displacement, capacitance and sensitivity of sensor with square diaphragm have been modeled and then simulated using finite element method (FEM). It can b...
متن کاملA Novel Single-Axis MEMS Tilt Sensor with a High Sensitivity in the Measurement Range from 0∘ to 360∘ †
In this paper, a novel single-axis MEMS tilt sensor is presented. It contains a hexagonal proof mass, six micro-lever force amplifiers and three double-ended-tuning fork (DETF) resonant strain gauges. The proof mass is placed in the center with the micro-levers and the DETFs radially arrayed around. The variation of gravity acceleration applied on the proof mass will result in frequency shifts ...
متن کاملCmos - Mems Capacitor Having Large Tuning Range
Several CMOS-MEMS tunable capacitors have been designed, fabricated and tested. Large-tuning ranges and high Q values are achieved. The structures were made from the CMOS interconnect stack using a maskless CMOS micromachining process. The 1 generation capacitors were fabricated using Austria Microsystems (AMS) 0.6 μm and Agilent 0.5 μm CMOS process. These devices have a measured nominal capaci...
متن کاملWide-Dynamic-Range and High-Sensitivity Current-to-Voltage Converters
A wide dynamic range and a high sensitivity are often incompatible with each other in analog circuits, such as signal converters or amplifiers. In this paper, we present a method of developing current-to-voltage converters featuring both. It comprises two current-to-voltage conversions. One is to convert the DC component, i.e. the average level of the current input, into a voltage with a nonlin...
