Detailed Study of Amplitude Nonlinearity in Piezoresistive Force Sensors

  • Leonel Paredes-Madrid,
  • Luis Emmi,
  • Elena Garcia and
  • Pablo Gonzalez De Santos

14 September 2011

This article upgrades the RC linear model presented for piezoresistive force sensors. Amplitude nonlinearity is found in sensor conductance, and a characteristic equation is formulated for modeling its response under DC-driving voltages below 1 V. Th...
