In this paper, we study the possible output of the pulsed digital oscillator (PDO) with multiple resonant modes of the mechanical resonator in the feedback loop. PDOs are simple circuits that allow linear resonators to ...
This paper extends our previous work on the
selective excitation of mechanical vibration modes in MEMS devices using Pulsed Digital Oscillators. It begins by presenting extensive simulation results using the set of iterative ...
In this work, we consider a system that consists of a microresonator and a ΣΔ type feedback loop control which is typically a part of inertial sensors. We describe this architecture as a dynamical system (an iterative ...
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 ...
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 ...
In this paper, we present a formal analysis and description of the steady-state behavior of an electrostatic vibration energy harvester operating in constant-charge mode and using different types of electromechanical ...
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 ...
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 ...
A new dynamical closed-loop method is proposed to control dielectric charging in capacitive MEMS positioners/ varactors for enhanced reliability and robustness. Instead of adjusting the magnitude of the control voltage to ...
In this paper, we present an analysis of an electrostatic vibration harvester operating in the constant-charge mode. The goal of the study is to bound regions of control parameters where the system displays steady-state ...
