Comparative study of different output metrics for a three weakly coupled resonator sensor

peer reviewedThis work, for the first time, investigates the characteristics of different output metrics for a three degree-of-freedom (DoF) coupled resonator sensor. The main aspects examined are sensitivity and linear range. It is shown from electrical measurements that using the vibration amplitude ratio as an output signal provides improved sensitivity and linearity range, compared to other methods such as shift in eigenstate, mode frequency or amplitude difference
