Abstract

We study the effect of delayed feedback controller on the dynamic stability of a MEMS resonator actuated with DC and AC voltages. We show that the delayed feedback controller, with a careful selection of its parameters, can be used to stabilize an originally unstable resonator operating in the escape (dynamic pull-in) frequency band. Also, the controller is shown to enhance the stability of the resonator near pull-in, where it experiences a strong fractal behavior. In both cases, the controller shows superior performance in rejecting disturbances. Experimental and theoretical results are presented to demonstrate the capability of the feedback controller to stabilize the performance of the capacitive resonator. A good agreement between simulation and experiment was achieved.
