Biased Resonator Models (3D)
Model ID: 11748

An electrostatically actuated MEMS resonator is simulated in the time and frequency domains. The device is driven by an AC + DC bias voltage applied across a parallel plate capacitor. The dependence of the resonant frequency on DC bias is assessed, and frequency domain and transient analyses are performed to investigate the device performance.



Biased Resonator Models (3D) Stress (volume plot) and Electric potential (iso-surfaces) for a clamped-clamped beam with an applied DC bias. Since the model is symmetric only half of the beam is shown.
