A Resonant Siso Sensor Based on a Coupled Array of Microelectromechanical Oscillators

This work details the preliminary development and testing of a novel, single input – single output (SISO) resonant microsensor, which exploits vibration localization in a coupled-oscillator architecture to allow for the detection of multiple analytes with a single platform. The work includes a brief description of a preliminary sensor design and its operating principles, an outline of a lumped mass analog that proves convenient for analysis and predictive design, and preliminary experimental results, recently obtained from a first-generation device, which verify the sensor’s feasibility.
