Thin-Film BAW Resonator with Equivalent Circuit

Application ID: 112881


This tutorial demonstrates how an electrical circuit model of a MEMS resonator can be derived using the Parameter Estimation feature. The model is a modified Butterworth-Van Dyke circuit created using the Electrical Circuit interface and represents a Thin-Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR). Parameter Estimation study was used to solve for the parameters of the lumped elements in the model.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
