Experimental setup for the characterization of the piezoelectric cantilever arrays: (a) Wire bonded cantilever array on the printed circuit board (PCB); (b) 3D printed sample holder with a calibrated accelerometer mounted on a shaker; (c) the shaker was controlled by a function generator through a power amplifier. The output voltage signals of the cantilevers and the calibrated accelerometer were collected by a programmed data acquisition card (DAQ). The signals were in situ visualized by an oscilloscope during the automatized frequency sweeps. Current source was used to feed the accelerometer.
