This architecture features a downmixing scheme where the NEMS motion-induced piezoresitive signal at 25 MHz and 70 Mhz is shifted down to few tens of kHz thus reducing the bandwidth constraint on the electronics. In closed loop operation, the oscillator presents excellent frequency stability, identical to the one obtained in PLL operation. While monitoring successively the two modes of the oscillator, mass addition on the NEMS was simulated by electrostatically-induced frequency shifts. This self-oscillator scheme represents a compact and power saving architecture compatible with the readout of dense sensor arrays required in applications such as mass sensing.","PeriodicalId":57667,"journal":{"name":"时间频率公报","volume":"21 1","pages":"222-225"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84469366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vibration sensitivity can be due to the resonator, the oscillator loop or non-oscillator components like wire, for instance. Commonly, the main source of acceleration sensitivity is due to the resonator. Active compensation can be used to decrease this effect, but such systems are not easily miniaturized. This paper presents computations of the stress sensitivity coefficients of frequency for the high-overtone bulk acoustic resonators and the design of a simple packaging to minimize vibration sensitivity. The final goal is to control vibration sensitivity of the high-overtone bulk acoustic resonators with dedicated packaging. The computed results are compared to experimental ones.

We model the magnetization dynamics of the free layer magnet in the STO using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Slonczewski (LLGS) equation modified to include magneto-elastic coupling term. Locking is clearly demonstrated from the simulated frequency spectrum of the acoustically-locked STO which has a narrower linewidth and higher signal power as compared to a free running STO. We have shown locking of different modes of the STO and compare the amplitude of out-of-plane AC strain needed to achieve lock. Acoustic locking illustrated here can be used for locking multiple STOs to a common strain transducer and is a potential platform for developing hybrid magneto-acoustic oscillator systems.","PeriodicalId":57667,"journal":{"name":"时间频率公报","volume":"59 1","pages":"68-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78870743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a great deal of measurement of complicated frequency signals, discrete fuzzy areas are common.

Thanks to the progress of digital electronics, new time-interval analyzers have been made available in the last few years. Such instruments measure the time stamp of the input events at high sampling speed (MS/s), and with high resolution (10-100 ps). We propose the linear regression as a means to estimate the frequency from time stamps of the input signal. The frequency counter based on the linear regression is called Ω counter. The linear regression is interpreted as a finite impulse response filter which takes the frequency samples as the input, and delivers the estimated frequency at the output. We derive the transfer function of such filter, which turns out to be parabolic shaped. As compared to the H and Λ counters, the Ω counter features better rejection of the background noise. We define the quadratic variance (QVAR), a wavelet variance similar to the Allan variance, and we derive its statistical properties. The QVAR is superior to the AVAR and MVAR in the rejection of the background noise.","PeriodicalId":57667,"journal":{"name":"时间频率公报","volume":"56 S1","pages":"338-342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/FCS.2015.7138854","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72536401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structural symmetry of the resonator and mount combination has been shown in past work, both theoretical and practical, to have a strong influence on acceleration sensitivity, and specialized structures have been developed [1], [2], [3] that have greatly improved performance. However, with applications such as airborne radar systems, there is a persistent demand for further improvement. The design of many of the practical high-stability resonator products that have a need for good acceleration sensitivity is also constrained by other attributes, such as high quality factor, and these constraints typically result in a low-frequency overtone device with a fully contoured resonator element design. In this paper, the effect of the concentricity of the contour shape on the quartz disk in contoured resonators is considered, and results are presented that demonstrate a strong correlation between the contour offset from the blank center and the acceleration sensitivity of the resonator. Methods are also described for measurement of the contour position relative to the perimeter of the disk.","PeriodicalId":57667,"journal":{"name":"时间频率公报","volume":"25 1","pages":"427-431"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75712807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
