We study the effect of bias voltage VDC on the effective nonlinearity of electrostatically clamped-clamped microbeam resonators. We identify three domains in the resonator response: hardening-type, softening-type, and near-linear behaviors. In the near linear domain we show that we can increase the power handling of the resonator without distorting its phase noise performance. We investigate the mixing of low frequency 1/f noise into the input signal. This causes phase distortion of the output signal and is quantized as its phase noise. We find that the amplitude and phase responses of the resonator’s displacement are coupled to each other through the effective non-linearity co-efficient (S), which distorts its phase response in the nonlinear regime. Finally we also present closed form expressions for resonator displacement and current in both linear and non-linear regimes.

In this paper, ring oscillator phase noise caused by power supply noise (PSN) with deterministic frequency is analyzed. Results show that phase noise caused by deterministic noise is only an impulse series. Compared with the jitter caused by PSN, the phase noise caused by PSN with deterministic frequency contributes considerably less to total phase noise performance. To verify the analysis method, a CMOS ring oscillator is designed and fabricated using SMIC 0.13 µm CMOS process. Comparisons between the analytical results and measurements prove the accuracy of the proposed method

The low frequency voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is designed using integrated operational amplifier. The frequency of the output signal of VCO changes with the magnitude of the input signal voltage, and show a linear relationship within a certain range through the experimental test. Experiments show that, under the input of certain amplitude and frequency range of the square wave, triangle wave, saw-tooth wave, the output waveform of VCO respectively is ambulance, fire siren and other kinds of ambulance siren Signal. This innovative design’ cost is low, realized by analog circuit. It can be used in the practice of teaching case, electronic production or development of sound panels.

The intermediated strain can convert a magnetic field to an electric output signal in a magnetostrictive-piezoelectric layered composite via three parameters: the magnetoelastic coupling, the piezoelastic coupling and the mechanical impedance. These three parameters are dominated respectively by the magnetostrictive coefficient, the piezoelectric coefficient and the mean flexibility of material in the composite. Focusing on these three parameters, many investigations on the ME enhancement have been carried out by choosing the correct material or by adjusting the ratio between the two phases in the composite [4]. Thereafter, the noise performance of ME laminates has been studied for applications as a magnetic sensor. In the last several years, the intrinsic noise sources for both the composite and the amplifier circuit have been mathematically modeled and experimentally characterized. The passively sensed signal can be amplified by either a voltage or a charge method. Furthermore, the noise contributions from the detection electronics were also integrated in the noise performance analysis [5]. According to these studies, dielectric dissipation in the piezoelectric phase is the main contribution to the noise floor for low-frequency magnetic field sensing even though the equivalent current noise source from the electronics induce fluctuations in the output signal of the low-frequency charge detection as well [6].
