Fields of technology as diverse as microwave filter construction, characterization of material interfaces with atomic precision, and detection of gravitational waves from astronomical sources employ mechanical resonators at their core. The utility of mecha ...
The aim of this project is to deposit a thin film of aluminum nitride (AlN) or aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN) on a quartz substrate showing good piezoelectric properties for use in tuning fork oscillators. Quartz oscillators are commonly used in various ...
RF MEMS piezoelectric acoustic resonators are the essential building blocks for RF filters used in RF front-end modules for wireless mobile communication due to their compact size in the MHz-GHz frequency range, high Quality factors and large relative band ...
The aim of this thesis is to implement, analyze and improve the selected low noise clock
generation and distribution techniques for ADC implementations. The thesis is divided into
two parts. The first part focuses on the sampling phase generation and distr ...
This semester project aimed at simulating two approaches for low temperature dependence of resonance frequency of resonators. The first one consists in using AT-cut quartz as the resonator’s material. The AT-cut quartz wafers are made using a 35° angle wit ...
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is among the most revolutionary technologies of 21st century, with the applications ranging from industrial systems to consumer electronics. Using MEMS in battery-powered wireless devices has long been seen as the evol ...
This article introduces a 32-kHz crystal oscillator (XO) with high energy-to-noise-ratio pulse injection at subharmonic frequency. A T/4-delay clock slicer is proposed to convert the sinusoidal crystal waveform into an output clock of 32 kHz and to introdu ...
The increasing demand of higher frequencies technologies in RF (Radio frequency) components, especially for telecommunication, create a need to develop wider and higher frequency bands filters, with optimal performances. Thus, constant effort are made to d ...
Despite centuries of research and significant advances, the escapement mechanism used to count and maintain oscillations of mechanical time bases remains a complex mechanism and a major source of energy losses. We showed in previous work that, instead of t ...
This paper presents the use of a novel type of resonators made of a thin membrane of Y-cut Lithium Niobate that has an array of interdigitated electrodes on the top, and a floating metal on the bottom. Each electrode gives rise to a quasi-independent reson ...
