Fig. 3 shows working modes of the first resonator 104 and the second resonator 204, which are resonance Liang Fanxiang vibration modes, and stresses generated by vibration of the resonance beam can be offset at the end, so that the thermal elasticity quality factor is high, and mechanical thermal noise in a high vacuum environment is small. The operating frequencies of the first resonator 104 and the second resonator 204 may be adjusted by sizing the resonant beams 1010 and 2010, respectively, with the operating frequency of this embodiment being about 20 KHz. The frequency difference between the operating frequency of the first resonator 104 and the second resonator 204 and the anti-phase resonant mode frequency is determined by the stiffness of the straight beam 1026 and the straight beam 2026, respectively, and the frequency difference is greater than 1000Hz in this embodiment.

The resonator is driven in the Y-axis direction, and simple harmonic driving of the resonator in the Y-axis direction is realized. Under the acceleration in the X direction, the first mass 101 and the second mass 201 generate an inertial force in the X direction, and the inertial force generates a push-pull load in the axial direction of the first resonator 104 and the second resonator 204 through the first lever amplifying structure 102 and the second lever amplifying structure 202, respectively. Wherein one resonator is subjected to axial tension and the resonance frequency is increased, and the other resonator is subjected to axial compression and the resonance frequency is decreased. Two individual resonators form a push-pull differential structure to compensate common mode errors such as temperature.

The output signals of the first resonator 104 and the output signals of the second resonator 204 obtained by difference are further subjected to difference processing, and the frequency change amount of the output signals is in direct proportion to the external acceleration, so that the detection of the acceleration is realized, the interference of common mode noise is reduced, the signal detection precision is improved, and the sensitivity of the silicon-based MEMS resonant accelerometer is improved.
