    Abstract

    The small size and integrability make the silicon micromechanical rf-resonators attractive components for future wireless communication devices. In particular, we show that using the microresonators one can construct oscillators exhibiting low phase noise and good long-term stability. Such compact solutions challenge conventional quartz crystals in frequency reference applications.
