Main limits of resonant VEHs
27
At 20% off the resonance
the power falls by 80-90%
Transduction techniques comparison
Piezoelectric transducers
provide suitable output voltages and are well adapted for miniaturization, e.g. in MEMS
applications,
the electromechanical coupling coefficients for piezoelectric thin films are relatively small
relatively large load impedances are typically required for the piezoelectric transducer to
reach it optimum working point.
Electrostatic transducers
well suited for MEMS applications
but they have relatively low power density, and they need to be charged to a reference
voltage by an external electrical source such as a battery.
Electromagnetic transducers
very good for operation at relatively low frequencies in devices of medium size
suitable to drive loads of low impedance
expensive to integrate in microsystems: micro-magnets are complex to manufacture, and
relatively large mass displacement is required.
