Programmable MEMS-Based Silicon Timing Solutions Change the Game

Lutz M., SiTime Corp, US

For the past few decades, the electronics industry has relied on quartz based timing solutions, which involve machining of crystals and then marrying them to analog circuits inside an expensive, ceramic package. Furthermore, this package [...]

A simulation of microfluidic oscillator micromixer

Khelfaoui R., University of Bechar, DZ

Micromixing is particularly interesting for many microfluidic applications. In micrometric size devices, reaching an efficient mixing is often difficult, due to laminarization of the flow. As an example, efficient mixing may be obtained using a [...]

Control of NEMS Based on Carbon Nanotube

Ershova O.V., Knizhnik A.A., Lebedeva I.V., Lozovik Yu.E., Popov A.M., Potapkin B.V., Kintech Lab Ltd, RU

Here we consider the controlled operation of a gigahertz oscillator based on a carbon nanotube. A new method for controlling the motion of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) is proposed. This method is based on the appearance [...]

Frequency Stability and Noise Characteristics of Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Nanoelectromechanical Resonators

Feng X.L., Roukes M.L., California Institute of Technology, US

Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are emerging as great candidates for a variety of technological applications ranging from sensors and actuators to signal processing and communications [1]. Nanofabricated high-frequency (often in the VHF/UHF bands) electromechanical resonators (i.e., [...]

Design and Simulation of a MicroElectroMechanical Resonator Oscillator

Parlak M., Naseer M., Gurbuz Y., Sabanci University, TR

MicroElectroMechanical (MEM) vibrating structures such as linear drive resonators can be used as driving components in signal processing applications. The choice of these components is assisted by the fact that these MEM devices display high [...]

Antiphase Design for Balanced Oscillators

Liu X., Sheng Z., Law C.L., Qian C., Sun Z., Nanyang Technological University, SG

A novel general design method, which is based on S-parameters and suitable for MMIC and MEMS, has been developed for antiphase balanced oscillators in this paper. To demostrate the design method, a new type of [...]
