研究目的
To create a model of a microaccelerometer using MEMS technology and investigate its sensitivity and non-linear properties in the commercial temperature range.
研究成果
The MEMS accelerometer with SAW demonstrates good linearity in output characteristics, with a sensitivity of 360 Hz/(m/s2), acceleration range of -12 to +12 m/s2, and operating frequency of 450 MHz. It is suitable for use in inertial motion control systems for UAVs or underwater ROV/AUVs, with recommendations for future improvements in manufacturing accuracy and material quality.
研究不足
The accuracy of manufacturing the interdigital electrode topology and the quality of the piezosemiconductor film can influence the characteristics, with frequency tuning variations from ±60 kHz to ±130 kHz. The operating temperature range is limited to 0-60°C, and nonlinearity of the output characteristic is 2%.
