Abstract
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are commonly used to build sensors for consumer products such as game console controllers1 and smart phones2. These sensors use piezoelectric materials and are wired directly into a larger electronic system. Because of their use case, these sensors are designed to operate near room temperature. The goal of this project was to help create a remotely detected MEMS accelerometer capable of operating in high temperature and high acceleration environments.
