Abstract :
This paper reports the low power operation of Vibrating Body Field Effect Transistors as active resonators for communication applications. For the first time we report active resonators operating at 2 MHz and 20 MHz with power consumption less than 100 muW and Quality factors in the order of 3000. This performance opens new applications of devices for wireless sensor networks.
