In the proposed method, the oscillation waveform of the crystal oscillator is directly captured by an analog to digital converters, and the phase is calculated by digital computation. The mass of the object is detected by calculating the instantaneous frequency by time differentiation of the time-series phase information. Therefore, compared to the method using a frequency counter, there is no waiting time due to the gate time, therefore high-speed mass detection is possible. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the measurement resolution was improved compared to the method using the frequency counter.","PeriodicalId":6872,"journal":{"name":"2020 Joint Conference of the IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium and International Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics (IFCS-ISAF)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83092727","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}

There are methods that exist to mitigate this problem by extracting the multipath parameters, namely, differential attenuation, carrier phase shift, and differential time-delay. One method is to transmit a narrow pulse and extract these parameters from the impulse response of the channel. Another well-established method is to use frequency dependent amplitude fading of a swept sinusoid for multipath parameters extraction. In this paper, we used the second technique for the suppression of multipath distortion. We implemented this scheme with an Ettus B120 software defined radio (SDR) and observed more than a factor of 8 (18 dB) reduction of multipath distortion under different indoor environments; our findings are supported by both simulation as well as experimental results.","PeriodicalId":6872,"journal":{"name":"2020 Joint Conference of the IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium and International Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics (IFCS-ISAF)","volume":"164 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75339373","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}

A record-high Radius of Curvature (R.O.C of 11.9 cm) of the fabricated wide-width pseudo free-free beam is achieved among CMOS-MEMS counterparts. The fundamental mode is measured at a resonance frequency of 9.8 MHz. The second and the third higher order harmonics are observed when the resonator is excited at its fundamental flexural mode in the non-linear region. A varying AC voltage drives the resonator from the linear regime into non-linear regime for an applied DC bias of 80 V.

The key enabler here is the use of gap-dependent electrical stiffness to shift resonance frequencies as structural elements stretch or shrink to relieve stress. An output based on the difference frequency between two close proximity structures with unequal stress arm lengths (cf. Fig. 1) removes uncertainty on the initial gap spacing and permits a $206 text{Hz}/muvarepsilon$ scale factor. The ability to precisely measure the frequency of the high-$Q$ (∼4000) structures, down to at least 1 Hz, puts the resolution of this sensor at least $5mathrm{n}varepsilon$ (or 790 Pa for polysilicon). An on-chip highly sensitive strain sensing device like this will likely be instrumental to managing stress changes over the lifetime of micromechanical circuits, such as oscillators and filters.","PeriodicalId":6872,"journal":{"name":"2020 Joint Conference of the IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium and International Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics (IFCS-ISAF)","volume":"195 2 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85602791","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}

DOCXOs can provide frequency versus temperature stabilities under +/− 1ppb. This superior performance comes at the cost of the power consumption of running two ovens, as well as footprint impact from the extra circuitry. Wide temperature ranges are also a challenge for DOCXOs due to the need to run the ovens at very high temperatures. This paper focuses on a secondary method of compensating OCXOs for frequency versus temperature performance using a segmented polynomial array compensation. This method of compensation can achieve results unobtainable through conventional compensation methods. A group of eight OCXOs in a $20 text{mm} times 20 text{mm}$ package with SC cut crystals were studied for this paper. The inherent mean frequency versus temperature performance of the most improved unit was ±4.29 ppb over the industrial range of −40 to 85 °C. Using 4 segments to compensate the unit the frequency versus temperature performance was reduced to mean performance of ±0.153 ppb over the industrial range. This is a 28 to 1 improvement over the OCXOs inherent performance. This compensated single oven technology provides superior temperature performance over a wider temperature range with lower power consumption than can be achieved with traditional methods. The theory of this compensation method will be discussed, and data showing the results of frequency versus temperature compensation on the qualification group will be presented.","PeriodicalId":6872,"journal":{"name":"2020 Joint Conference of the IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium and International Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics (IFCS-ISAF)","volume":"55 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85640139","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}

This paper describes the failure of $0.6 mu mathrm{m}$ lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films on Si wafers with different in-plane stresses under large electric fields. The films failed by a combination of cracking and thermal breakdown events. It was found that the crack initiation and propagation behavior varied with the stress state of the films. The total stress required for crack initiation was estimated to be near 500 MPa. As expected, cracks propagated perpendicular to the maximum tensile stress direction. Thermal breakdown events and cracks were correlated, suggesting coupling between electrical and mechanical failure. It was also found that films that were released from the underlying substrates were less susceptible to failure by cracking. It was proposed that during electric field loading the released film stacks were able to bow and alleviate some of the stress. Released films may also experience enhanced domain wall motion that increases their fracture toughness. The results indicate that both applied stress and clamping conditions play important roles in the electromechancial failure of piezoelectric thin films.","PeriodicalId":6872,"journal":{"name":"2020 Joint Conference of the IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium and International Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics (IFCS-ISAF)","volume":"90 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80478167","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}
