  • Abstract
    This paper presents recent progresses on making vibrating RF MEMS oscillators for timing and frequency reference applications. Starting from the performance requirements of an oscillator in various systems, the key aspects of MEMS oscillators, including resonator design, oscillator performances, temperature compensation, packaging and integrations, are reviewed. Future directions of the research are also suggested at the end of the paper
