  • Abstract
    MEMS resonators are used for miniature time references and vibrating sensors. The mechanical nonlinearities of such micro resonators limit their power handling and thus the frequency stability and phase noise of MEMS resonators based oscillators. This paper reports a new circuit scheme to compensate the nonlinear behavior of MEMS resonators. Simulations and experimental results show the effective nonlinearity compensation.
