Dynamics of the MEMS pulsed digital oscillator with multiple delays in the feedback loop

In this paper we apply methods of nonlinear dynamics to examine the behavior of the pulsed digital oscillator for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). We study the regions of existence of oscillations and demonstrate the effect on these of including additional delays into the feedback loop.
