This paper reports the low power operation of Vibrating Body Field Effect Transistors as active resonators for communication applications. For the first time we report active resonators operating at 2MHz and 20MHz with power consumption less than 100μW and Quality factors in the order of 3000. This performance opens new applications of devices for wireless sensor networks. ©2009 IEEE.
