Abstract
A method for a MEMS device comprises determining in a computer system, a first driving signal for the MEMS device in response to a first time delay and to a base driving signal, applying the first driving signal to the MEMS device to induce the MEMS device to operate at a first frequency, determining a second driving signal for the MEMS device in response to a second time delay and to the base driving signal, applying the second driving signal to the MEMS device to induce the MEMS device to operate at a second frequency, determining a first quality factor associated with the MEMS device in response to the first frequency and the second frequency, determining a quality factor associated with the MEMS device in response to the first quality factor, and determining whether the quality factor associated with the MEMS device, exceeds a threshold quality factor.
