Abstract
new way to characterize vibrating MEMS devices is presented. Using an acoustic particle velocity sensor the coupled sound field is measured, which is a measure for the movement of the MEMS device. We present several possible applications of this measurement method. It can be used as a read-out system for a mass flow sensor, and for characterization of in- and out-of-plane movements of MEMS devices. The method is an interesting alternative to laser scanning vibrometry due to its small size and low complexity; furthermore, it allows the user to `listen' directly to MEMS devices.
