Abstract

A vibration wave detector in which: a plurality of resonator beams, each having a different length and being allowed to resonate at a specific frequency, are provided; a piezoresistor is installed in each resonator beam; and the piezoresistors are parallel-connected so that vibration is converted to an electric signal by the piezoresistors so as to output the sum of vibration waveforms at the respective resonator beams. It is possible to control a gain of a specific frequency band by changing a voltage to be applied to the parallel circuit or changing the resistance value of each piezoresistor.
