摘要:
A longitudinal mode resonator that includes a substrate and a bar that is suspended relative to the substrate. The bar is suspended such that it is free to expand and contract longitudinally in response to the application of an electric field across its thickness. The expansion and contraction of the bar achieves resonance in response to the field having a frequency substantially equal to the fundamental frequency of the bar.
摘要:
A resonator system wherein a plurality of resonators each including piezoelectric material are suspended relative to a substrate. An edge of each resonator is mechanically coupled to an edge of another resonator and the plurality of resonators expand and contract reaching resonance in response to an applied electric field.

摘要:
A method of fabricating a MEMS piezoelectric resonator system includes forming a stack of layers on a substrate, the stack comprising at least one piezoelectric material layer spaced from the substrate by a sacrificial layer, patterning the stack to form a plurality of edge coupled resonators, and removing at least a portion of the sacrificial layer to suspend the resonators relative to the substrate.
摘要:
A method for reducing errors in a tuning fork gyroscope includes determining a first distance, gt, between an upper sense plate and a proof mass and a second distance, gb, between a lower sense plate and the proof mass. The method further includes applying a first voltage, Vt, to the upper sense plate and a second voltage, Vb, to the lower sense plate, wherein the ratio of the first voltage and the second voltage is a function of the first distance and the second distance.
