6. Comparison
To compare devices based on different conversion principles, a figure of merit, a criterion common to all generators, can be defined . However, this comparison does not take into account the system's bandwidth, but only its performance at the excitation frequency. It is also possible to compare the efficiency of these generators for a given volume by expressing the electromechanical conversion efficiency for each ...
