    摘要: An AMR sensor, comprises at least first and second AMR sensor elements to which opposite bias fields are applied. The first and second AMR sensor element outputs are combined to derive a sensor response which is substantially anti-symmetric in the region close to zero external magnetic field. This arrangement shifts the zero detection point of the AMR sensor elements away from a maximum of the response curve, so that sensitivity in proximity to a zero input field is obtained. To overcome the problem that the response is not anti-symmetric, the signals from (at least) two sensor elements are combined.

    摘要: A microphone has a membrane (20) mounted to vibrate in response to pressure fluctuations, a backplate (30) facing the membrane and being more rigid than the membrane, and circuitry (95) for sensing the vibrations relative to the backplate, the backplate being prestressed and having a geometry such that a response of the backplate to structure borne vibration matches a corresponding response of the membrane. This can help reduce or minimize relative movement between these surfaces caused by structure borne vibration and hence improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the microphone. The geometry can be a hub and spoke arrangement.

    摘要: A device has an electroacoustic interface between interfaces for balanced electrical signals and unbalanced electrical signals (i.e. a balun) includes a film of piezoelectric material having a first and second pair of electrodes on a first surface a common electrode, with at least partial overlaps with all of the electrodes of the first and second pair, on a second surface. The interfaces between the electrodes in the first and second pair have geometrically identical shapes. Piezoelectrically polarized regions are provided in the film at the overlaps of the electrodes with the electrode arrangement. The direction of polarization components of the regions in the overlaps with the first electrode and the second electrode in the first pair are equal to each other. To provide for balun coupling, the directions of the polarization components in the overlaps with the first electrode and the second electrode in the second pair are mutually opposite.

    摘要: A resonator comprising a resonator body and actuation electrodes for driving the resonator into a resonant mode, in which the resonator body vibrates parallel to a first axis. The resonator comprises means to apply a voltage to the resonator in a direction perpendicular to the first axis direction. This serves to shift the frequency of resonant modes other than the principal resonant mode, and this allows increased amplitude of output signal from the resonator.

    摘要: An MR sensor arrangement is integrated with an IC. A metal layer of the IC structure (e.g. CMOS) is patterned to define at least first and second contact regions. Metal connecting plugs are provided below the first and second contact regions of the metal layer for making contact to terminals of the integrated circuit. A magnetoresistive material layer is above the metal layer and separated by a dielectric layer. Second metal connecting plugs extend up from the metal layer to an MR sensor layer. The sensor layer is thus formed over the top of the layers of the IC structure.
