Characterization of MEMS Resonator Nonlinearities Using the Ringdown Response
Abstract—We present a technique for estimation of the model parameters for a single-mode vibration of symmetric micromechanical resonators, including the coefficients of conservative and dissipative nonlinearities. The nonlinearities result in an amplitude-dependent frequency and a nonexponential decay, which are characterized from the ringdown response. An analysis of the amplitude of the ringdown response allows one to estimate the linear damping constant and the dissipative nonlinearity, and
the zero-crossing points in the ringdown measurement can be used for characterization of the linear natural frequency and the Duffing and quintic nonlinearities of the vibrational mode, which arise from a combination of mechanical and electrostatic effects.
