<p>A self-excited microelectromechanical device (20) is described. The device includes a resonating structure, a cantilever (28), which responds to a physical phenomenon by generating an induced variable frequency voltage signal corresponding to the physical phenomenon. Self-excitation circuitry (24) connected to the cantilever processes the induced variable frequency voltage signal and produces a variable frequency voltage signal in a resonant pass band of interest that is applied to the cantilever to augment the effect of the physical phenomenon on the cantilever. An exemplary use of the device is a power meter (164) wherein the cantilever responds to the electric field associated with a power signal on a metered line (165 and 166) and transforms the voltage signal of the electric field into a corresponding frequency signal. The noise-immune frequency signal can be readily processed to reconstruct the power signals carried by the power line.</p> |
