چکیده

MEMS resonators have started replacing the quartz crystals and SAW resonators in RF transceivers because of their inherent advantages like high quality factor, small size, robustness and easy integrability with supporting electronics. The paper presents the developments that have taken place in MEMS resonators. Some of the issues in the design and development of electrostatically transduced MEMS resonators have been identified through the literature survey. Applications of MEMS resonators and few of the commercially available MEMS resonators are discussed.

Effect of thermoelastic damping in nonlinear beam model of MEMS resonators by differential quadrature method

This paper presents a nonlinear model of a clamped-clamped microbeam actuated by an electrostatic load with stretching and thermoelastic effects. The frequency of free vibration is calculated by discretization based on the Differential Quadrature (DQ) Method. The frequency is a complex value due to the thermoelastic effect that dissipates energy. By separating the real and imaginary parts of fr...

Investigation of Mems Resonator Characteristics during Long-term and Wide Temperature Variation Operation

Two types of single-crystal silicon micromechanical resonators having resonant frequencies at 150 kHz and 130 kHz were tested under harsh environment to investigate stability. To observe long-term stability, the main characteristics, such as resonant frequency and quality factor were measured over 2,500 hrs continuously while maintaining constant environmental temperature at 25°C±0.1°C. A separ...

Damping Ratio in Micro-Beam Resonators Based on Magneto-Thermo-Elasticity

This paper investigates damping ratio in micro-beam resonators based on magneto-thermo-elasticity. A unique aspect of the present study is the effect of permanent magnetic field on the stiffness and thermo-elastic damping of the micro resonators. In our modeling the theory of thermo-elasticity with interacting of an externally applied permanent magnetic field is taken into account. Combined the...

Application of RF-MEMS-Based Split Ring Resonators (SRRs) to the Implementation of Reconfigurable Stopband Filters: A Review

In this review paper, several strategies for the implementation of reconfigurable split ring resonators (SRRs) based on RF-MEMS switches are presented. Essentially three types of RF-MEMS combined with split rings are considered: (i) bridge-type RF-MEMS on top of complementary split ring resonators CSRRs; (ii) cantilever-type RF-MEMS on top of SRRs; and (iii) cantilever-type RF-MEMS integrated w...
