dc.description.abstractDraper Laboratory is developing a high precision MEMS accelerometer. This thesis describes and analyzes the electronics which produce the acceleration estimate and control the actuators within the sensor. The Vector Readout method of amplitude and frequency demodulation is described and shown to be a high precision, environmentally stable method of demodulation. The Vector Readout method of demodulation uses a Hilbert Transform filter and the CORDIC algorithm to simultaneously estimate both the amplitude and phase of a signal. A feedback controller is designed to hold the oscillation of a mass resonator at a constant amplitude.en_US
