This letter presents for the first time experiments combining a previously reported microelectromechanical system electrostatic vibration energy harvester (e-VEH) and the Bennet’s doubler circuit. A self-limiting effect on the harvested power, which was not reported before on macroscopic e-VEHs, has been observed. This effect is due to the nonlinear dynamics of the system and to the self-increase...
Slim DC-link PWM (AC) drives for low-performance applications are emerging on the market. Such drives equipped with a small DC-link capacitance exhibit instability tendencies, if installed on a soft line, giving a degraded performance. The total harmonic distortion (THD) and the partially weighted harmonic distortion (PWHD) of the line current are degraded, if resonance between the line impedance...
The mechanical nonlinearity due to high power level in zinc oxide thin film bulk acoustic wave resonators has been studied in this work. The nonlinear behavior of these resonators was investigated using transmission response measurements. The resonator was decoupled from the 50 Ohm line impedance by 20 pF shunting capacitors in order to allow the excitation of high mechanical vibration levels at the...
A novel compact coupled planar resonator (CCPR) based VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) using mode-coupling technique was developed in response to expensive high Ceramic and SAW resonators based signal source for wireless communications. One of the problems related to the conventional Ceramic/SAW based resonators (with high Q and low phase noise) is the challenge for integration in IC form. Instead...
