Abstract

Electrostatic microactuators are used extensively in MEMS sensors, RF switches, and microfluidic pumps. Due to high bandwidth operation, however, reduction of residual vibration using feedback control is difficult to implement. This paper designs, proves stability, and simulates a feedforward repetitive controller for an electrostatic microbridge. Squeeze film damping ensures boundedness of the distributed transverse displacement. Offline processing using repetitive control algorithm updates a waveform generator's parameters based on measured response to reduce errors between the desired and actual displacement distribution. Simulations show a 36% reduction in midspan overshoot.
