  • Abstract
    The aim of this paper is to introduce an explanation for the amplitude saturation and inhibition phenomena in resonant MEMS pressure sensors, via the electrostatic coupling of two resonance modes. Our analysis and experimental results reveal that these phenomena may be ubiquitous in electrostatic resonant MEMS sensors.
