A method is proposed for modeling the frequency characteristics of cap
acitive accelerometers by using Green's function for a moving system.
The model is used to calculate the dependences of the degree of accele
ration (air damping) of moving systems of the cantilever type on sever
al structural parameters (the width of the cantilever, the thickness o
f the air gaps, etc.). Calculations are also performed to determine th
e level and mode of the resonance vibrations of the system in air up t
o 250 kHz.
