The year 2019 introduced a super-regenerative receiver front-end using a parametric MEMS-based oscillator and an electrical stiffness-based resonant ring strain sensor with a remarkable insensitivity to environmental influences. It also demonstrated the strongest on-chip electromechanical coupling strength to date on the order of 70% (intrinsic) via a square plate flexural-mode resonator with 14-nm capacitive-gap transducers. The strong transducers permitted unprecedented frequency tuning of more than 46% for a high Q<\/em> mechanical resonator. Finally, this year produced the two part epic paper describing design and demonstration of a micromechanical disk-array RF channel-select filter that established and disseminated many of the key methods and principles behind hierarchical micromechanical signal processor circuit design, including buffering to alleviate stress in medium- and large-scale-integrated mechanical circuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A.
