Digital control of power converters has been an area of considerable research interest in recent times. One of the problems which arises in these systems is that of the limit cycle oscillations that occur due to quantization ...
In this paper, we present numerical bifurcation analysis of an electrostatic vibration energy harvester operating in constant-charge mode and using the in-plane gap closing transducer. We show how the system can be represented ...
The aim of this paper is to show that it is possible to excite selectively different mechanical resonant modes of a MEMS structure using Pulsed Digital Oscillators (PDOs). This can be done by simply changing the working ...
The aim of this paper is to apply an approach that will allow us to consider different mechanical modes of a MEMS
cantilever in the form of separate mass-spring-damper equations with the appropriate form of an external ...
Based on the formal analysis of a resonant electrostatic vibration energy harvester operating in constant-charge mode with a gap-closing transducer, we show that the system displays universal behaviour patterns. In this ...
This paper introduces a new actuation scheme for implementing Pulsed Digital Oscillators (PDOs) for electrostatic MEMS resonators. In this scheme, the capacitance of the device is biased with a voltage and it is periodically ...
