Abstract: An oscillator includes a resonator, sustaining circuit and detector circuit. The sustaining circuit receives a sense signal indicative of mechanically resonant motion of the resonator generates an amplified output signal in response. The detector circuit asserts, at a predetermined phase of the amplified output signal, one or more control signals that enable an offset-reducing operation with respect to the sustaining amplifier circuit.

Abstract: A microelectromechanical sensing apparatus with calibration function comprises a microelectromechanical sensor and an IC chip. The microelectromechanical sensor comprises a proof mass, a movable driving electrode and a movable sensing electrode disposed on the proof mass, and a stationary driving electrode and stationary sensing electrode disposed on a substrate, wherein the sensing electrodes output a sensing signal when the proof mass vibrates. The IC chip comprises a conversion module electrically connected to the microelectromechanical sensor, wherein the conversion module converts the sensing signal into an input spectrum signal, and a calibration module electrically connected to the conversion module, wherein the calibration module receives the input spectrum signal and transforms the input spectrum signal into an output spectrum signal; wherein, the output spectrum signal is equal amplitude spectrum signal when the microelectromechanical sensor is subjected to an equal amplitude vibration and the input spectrum signal is an unequal amplitude spectrum signal.

Abstract: There is provided an inertial sensor comprising a frame, a resonator assembly fixed to the frame comprising a first and second resonator coupled to one another by a mechanical coupling and a drive means coupled to the resonator assembly for driving the first and second resonators to vibrate. The resonator assembly is configured such that energy is transferred between the first and second resonators through the mechanical coupling. An amount of energy transferred through the mechanical coupling is dependent on the value of an input measurand acting on one of the first and second resonators. The inertial sensor also comprises a pumping means coupled to the resonator assembly for applying a pumping signal to the resonator assembly, the pumping means controlled by electrical circuitry, and a sensor assembly configured to detect the amplitude of oscillation of the first resonator at a first resonant frequency and the amplitude of oscillation of the second resonator at a second resonant frequency. The electrical circuitry is configured to control the pumping means to apply a pumping signal that has a frequency substantially equal to a difference between the first resonant frequency and the second resonant frequency. When the input measurand has the first value, the signal from the pumping means adjusts an amplitude ratio of the amplitudes of oscillation of the first and second resonator detected by the sensor assembly so that the amplitude ratio is within a predetermined amplitude ratio range over an expected range of input measurand values. An output of the inertial sensor is based on the amplitude ratio.

Abstract: A bulk acoustic wave resonator apparatus includes a resonator member, at least one anchor structure coupling the resonator member to a substrate, and a comb-drive element connected to the resonator member. The comb-drive element includes first comb fingers protruding from the resonator member, and second comb fingers of a different material than the first comb fingers interdigitated with the first comb fingers to define sub-micron capacitive gaps therebetween. Respective sidewalls of the first comb fingers are oppositely-tapered relative to respective sidewalls of the second comb fingers along respective lengths thereof, such that operation of the comb-drive element varies the sub-micron capacitive gaps at the respective sidewalls thereof. Respective tuning electrodes, which are slanted at respective angles parallel to an angle of respective sidewalls of the resonator member, may also be provided for quadrature tuning between different resonance modes of the resonator member. Related devices and fabrication methods are also discussed.
