摘要
In this paper, a method for the design and optimization of an electret-based vibration-to-electric microconverter is presented, using a nonlinear dynamical model of the device. The dynamics of the converter is analyzed in detail, showing the importance of properly accounting for the nonlinearity in the optimization process. A procedure to determine a set of optimization parameters is finally presented.
