Patent ID: 7990232

Claim:
A Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) resonator comprising: a first anchor coupled to a substrate on which the MEMS resonator is formed, the first anchor having a first anchor point and a second anchor point; a resonator body; a first mechanically symmetric support structure including: a first beam having a first end and a second end; a second beam having a first end and a second end, and wherein the second beam is substantially parallel to the first beam; a first connecting beam extending between the first end of the first beam and the first end of the second beam; a second connecting beam extending between the second end of the first beam and the second end of the second beam; a first anchor beam extending between the first connecting beam and the first anchor point; and a second anchor beam extending between the second connecting beam and the second anchor point; and a first coupling beam extending between the first mechanically symmetric support structure and the resonator body.
