摘要：
We report successful detection of an audio signal via sideband modulation of a nonlinear piezoelectric micromechanical resonator. The 270 x 96-mu m resonator was shown to be reliable in audio detection for sound intensity levels as low as ambient room noise and to have an unamplified sensitivity of 23.9 mu V/Pa. Such an approach may be adapted in acoustic sensors and microphones for consumer electronics or medical equipment such as hearing aids. Published by AIP Publishing.
